The Allegory Because of how we live, true reality
is not obvious to most of us. However, we mistake
what we see and hear for reality and truth. This
is the basic premise for Plato's Allegory of the
Cave, in which prisoners sit in a cave, chained
down, watching images cast on the wall in front of
them. They accept these views as reality and they
are unable to grasp their overall situation: the
cave and images are a ruse, a mere shadow show
orchestrated for them by unseen men. At some
point, a pri...

square kilometer living in a single nature

attractive for foreign investments. Basically, the

increased interest in conformations. The change in
the Senate to less hierarchical institution played
part to the s...
