One thing about Plato's allegory of the cave: It isn't about what most people think it's about. Most people think it's about using reason to escape from the fallacious nature of mundanity. In reality, it's about his theory that there exists a perfect "form" of everything in a spiritual sense and that only philosophers can gain closer access to the forms.
The thing is, the forms are an almost pre-modern form of epistemology. It's the idea that there is the spirit of perfection of everything, and we are merely seeing poor manifestations of that spirit.
