In Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle initiates his discussion by asserting that every activity or rational action aims at some end, or some good. Specifically, Aristotle notes that every art and every investigation, and similarly, every action and pursuit, is considered to aim at some good. He defines "the good" as "that which all things aim." In Aristotle’s words, "the good is that which all things aim." This suggests that every inquiry, pursuit, and action has a purpose and ultimate goal.

I wanted to delve into the "trinity" of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, particularly focusing on Plato's philosophical system and method of questioning.

In Book VII of The Republic, Plato presents the Allegory of the Cave, suggesting that we are all prisoners in a cave where we can only see shadows cast on the wall before us. These shadows are produced by captors and a fire positioned behind us. In the cave, we are unable to turn our heads, so all we see are these shadows, which represent mere illusions.
