Philosophy is the questioning of ideas and knowledge. Plato is one the most legendary philosophers of all time. He was an extremely deep thinker. Plato was born in 428 B.C. in Athens, Greece. He founded the Academy of Athens and was apprenticed to Socrates. He is famous for his book Republic and created the theory of Forms. To me Plato's Cave basically means that you start to question what everything is and how this is that. You start to question everything you know and all of your ideas. You try to find the truth. Just imagine if you've been holed up in a cave you life being shackled to the wall with a fire behind you and all you can see is shadow on the wall, you'll start to question your knowledge. I know, deep stuff.
