Plato's cave and the sun

I discuss Plato's Allegory of the Cave and his Metaphor of the Sun. I explain how the cave is a metaphor for Plato's skepticism about the senses and how the sun is a metaphor for the Form or Idea of the Good, which not only makes everything 'visible' but also makes everything 'grow'. Enjoy Jan Academy!
