Nowadayshuman atrocities led to loss of human nature, free under the name of individual life ina technical control world, human beings with their own scientific tools to create dig adeeper caves, has lost life meaning.Social into nihilism, people’s spirit is very scary,political and social order has been imbalances. So that when we started the Socraticfrom the cave to the sun rising of before, still need someone to guide us back to thecommon sense of the world, the natural ignorance of the state, that is, we needsomeone from modern rationalism of the fall of the world save out, from "second"unnatural "cave" guide out.

Plato’s politicalteaching is to a "technology rule", its quiet representative of the rhetoric is "holemetaphors, cave" it reflects a always for the appearance of things from the truth ofhuman knowledge can’t see things situation. Philosophers in politics is to better keeptraditional philosophy.
