Abstract
The article reflects the explanation of the concept of the truth by Plato, referring to his allegory "the Cave" and the analogy "the Divided Line" as well as to the dialogues. At the same time, the concept of the truth is being analyzed in the context of episteme and doxa and, accordingly, the hierarchical idea of knowledge, formed by the philosopher, is being investigated. The world of ideas, which forms the basis of Plato's philosophy, is assessed as a world where there is the truth and the unity, the true is separated from its shadow. In addition to the above, Plato's ways of achieving the metaphysical truth are being discussed. The article emphasizes that Plato was the first representative of the oldest theory in history, the theory of correspondence of the truth. Key words: Plato, aletheia, episteme, doxa, idea, knowledge, the divided line
