2013 What does Plato's cave represent? The Allegory of the Cave, the cave represents people who perceive knowledge as something that is seen and heard and that is really what it is not about. These people, in a sense, would be the chained people in the cave. This shows us that people in this cave are in a world of misunderstanding.

Until taking philosophy class and carefully dipping my toes into the realm of epistemology, I thought of knowledge as something pretentious.
