In the part of the book "The Allegory of the cave" Socrates talks to Glaucon about how peoples nature is enlightened and unenlightened. Socrates uses examples as in a story to prove his point. Basically all he is saying is that if a person has been living in an underground den and they are chained and cannot move and all they can see is shadows is what if one person got out of the chains and went out and saw where the light comes from. They would have not know what it was and where it came from. If you are locked in a room from reality all you know is they things you can see and what is around you but there is things beyond the room.
