Platão é considerado um dos nomes mais importantes para a compreensão do pensamento filosófico no Ocidente. Ele foi aluno de Sócrates, de quem registrou as ideias, e professor de Aristóteles–apesar das divergências que posteriormente os separaram. Um de seus legados mais importantes é a concepção do mundo das ideias em contraposição ao mundo dos sentidos. Para explicar essa teoria, o filósofo grego formulou a “alegoria da caverna”, que revolucionou para sempre a nossa forma de interpretar a realidade.
