"Plato's well-known theory of knowledge is described in the Republic, especially in his discussion of the image of the divided line and the myth of the cave (Vincent, 2005).

Claims or assumptions about the physical or visible world, including both observations and the propositions of science, are only opinions."More papers on Plato:
