The Allegory of the Cave is a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter, in which Plato elucidates his Theory of Forms. Plato's Allegory is considered one of Western philosophy's most important metaphors.

The Allegory of the Cave | Plato

I learned about this book thanks to Madisyn Brown‘s YouTube video on being the family scapegoat. I‘m surprised I‘ve never heard of the book before. I‘m including the link to the video for those who are interested.

TieDyeDude I haven't heard of Madisyn, but that is a horrible environment to grow up it. I think the Allegory of the Cave is from Plato's Republic. It is such an important concept! 14h
