Global Lit: Plato's Cave: Notes

Plato, The Cave
This is a very brief selection from Plato’s massive work, The Republic, in which he outlines his description of how we might build a perfect (Utopian) society.  Here, in the section known as The Cave, he is describing the condition most people live in, and what it takes to bring us out of it, into the world of true knowledge / wisdom.
