What is Real? (Plato's Allegory of the Cave) - 8-Bit Philosophy

Plato's Allegory of The Cave explores the nature of reality and perception. It describes prisoners in a cave who perceive shadows as reality. When one prisoner is freed, he discovers the true world and the realm of forms, which are eternal and unchangeable. Upon returning to the cave, his revelations challenge the beliefs of those still imprisoned. The allegory questions whether humans can ever truly perceive reality beyond their limited perceptions.
