PLATO'S CAVE

At Islands Brygge at the Port of Copenhagen a sculptural interpretation of Plato's Cave is placed. The analogy of the Cave is familiar to many of us. As Socrates suggests reality, and in particular our own position within reality, is not as it seems, and the analogy of The Cave represents one of the essential doctrines of Plato based on the Socrates suggestion.
