Ever wondered why a rich Athenian who died 2,400 years ago still dominates Western thought? Or why your professor keeps talking about invisible triangles and prisoners staring at shadows? "Plato's Cave: Philosophy's First Reality Show" is the hilarious guide to Plato you never knew you needed. 
In this irreverent takedown of philosophy's founding father, author Sophia Blackwell translates Plato's lofty ideas into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his metaphysical obsessions, aristocratic biases, and suspicious fondness for "perfect forms." 
You'll discover: 
Why the Cave Allegory is history's most elaborate way of calling everyone else stupid 
How Plato convinced generations that imaginary triangles are more real than actual ones 
Why "platonic relationship" means the exact opposite of what Plato intended 
How one failed playwright created Western philosophy's most successful PR smear campaign 
Why we're still arguing about the same questions 2,400 years later 
Perfect for philosophy students suffering through required reading, professors with a sense of humor, or anyone who's ever wondered why we care what a privileged Athenian thought about reality. "Plato's Cave" proves that understanding philosophy doesn't have to be painful—though Plato himself might disagree. 
Buy now and escape the cave of philosophical confusion! No prior knowledge required—just a willingness to laugh at one of history's most influential thinkers. 
Part of the bestselling "Cogito Ergo Nope!" series that makes philosophy accessible without being condescending and funny without sacrificing accuracy.
