Plato and Nietzsche, both great philosophers who shaped the narrative of Western philosophy, are often named in opposition to each other, with Plato establishing the scope of the beginning of the age of absolute truth and value, Nietzsche instead presented its death. Plato's examination of a perfect society led him to believe that knowledge and power must be fused to reach its full potential, while Nietzsche took that tradition and maneuvered it differently to reveal that knowledge is power in a different disguise. In essence we continue to follow and look back at Nietzsche's idea of ​​power. Through examining these two thinkers, the extraordinary depth of the two philosophers' questions and the difference in their answers lead to reflection on the structure of philosophical thought and its continuing importance in shaping how we preserve truth. Plato proposes that there are ultimate principles, pure forms created by God behind every object in the world. For Plato, truth would essentially derive from Good or God and he examines this idea in his Analogy of the Cave, as he states to Glaucon as written by Socrates. “Come on,” I said, “here's a situation you can use as an analogy to the human condition – to our education or lack thereof. Imagine people living in a cavernous cell underground; at the far end of the cave, far away. , there is an open entrance to the outside world.'He sets up this scenario to give the feeling that these people have no choice and are linked since childhood, he says, the shadows that replicate the objects and the prisoners who know which one is which the point in reality of these shadows. In 'The Cave' Plato demonstrates his belief in an absolute and '...essential form of G...... middle of paper ...... the existence of words and linguistic illusions will forever be our truth so in Nietzsche art or illusions save man from reality, producing new metaphors and reconciling life. both philosophers had their differences that contrasted with their respective theories agree about a world of illusions; both argue that humans live in an illusory world of our own that we think is reality when in reality we are not. The only major idea they disagree about concerns their concepts of what truth is and where it comes from. I used Plato's theory which is mainly based on the allegory of the cave in which he explains human conditions and Nietzsche took it and dismantled it creating what he says is a world full of illusions but derived from the mind as a survival tactic. Truth is simply a world full of imagination, but one is consequent to God and the other to the mind.
