Plato

As been Plato a Socrates diciple he had some ideas based on Socrates discurses. Plato make a huge step because his ideas has tracended in all this years, he think on reality and he explain it throught the allegory od the cave were he said that the shadows are the truth. Plato influenced a lot of philosophers with his ideas he made of philosophy a disipline. I think Plato is so important because he take a big risk by saying that what we live is a lie and just in the world of ideas is the truth because an idea for Plato is the´perfect escence of things so this ideas are represented in the earth as a reflection. I also want to know more about the reaction of people when Plato said that our reality is a lie and how people take it and if they work with it. A big part of Platos ideas is an influence of what Socrates think and Plato saw in Socrates a big teacher so he want to work in his ideas and explain them to people.
