In Book VII of The Republic, Plato articulates the famous Allegory of the Cave - the dark depths where prisoners are chained to a wall and can see only shadows of sculptures of real things, never knowing that their lives are so constrained. Plato goes on to describe how a prisoner might escape this cave, and how society should encourage its best and brightest to become philosopher-kings rather than eternal cave-dwellers. In this updated translation, the language of Plato is more approachable than ever. Full page illustrations enhance the emotions of Plato's dialogue, and a companion mobile app leverages the power of virtual reality to immerse readers in the text, bringing Plato's philosophy, relevant now as ever, to life.
