Blake Hestir's book admirably attends to the interaction between one of Plato's most important argumentative strategies and the substantive results of deploying that strategy. Heidegger, in his Platons Lehre von der Wahrheit, recognizes that the “image of the cave” is the central point of Plato's thought.According to Heidegger, this image is Plato's “doctrine” on truth, offered in order to “put in light the essence of the paideia “, for “an essential rapport unites the formation and the truth”.

The correspondence theory of truth expresses the very natural idea that … Plato's philosophy is remarkable for both. Plato, along with Socrates, opposed the Sophists and set out to refute relativism. Truth can be learned, but the greatest threat to Truth is graduate school. Telling the truth can be dangerous, but ignoring the truth can be even more dangerous. Plato relies on what Hestir calls "grounding arguments" to defend the view that the possibilities of meaning, predication and truth require entities that are stable (i.e. Other relativists argue that the truth of a claim depends upon the individual's perception (e.g. In everyday language, truth is typically ascribed to things that aim to represent reality or otherwise correspond to it, such as beliefs, propositions, and declarative sentences..
