Plato's theory of epistemology was the theory of recollection. It stated that knowledge is innate, that is, knowledge is kept inside every human being at the moment of their birth. It is kept deep inside the soul, but humans are not knowledgeable about how to express it. When humans learn to express it, it is actually rediscovered, not acquired. As an allegory, he proposed the allegory of the "sun as the form of the God", which states that the sun is intellectual illumination, which is the "Form of God".
