Youtube Video – Here is an animated version of Plato’s Cave, the most popular, most insightful attempt to explain reality as we know it. The ‘cave’ represents the state of most human beings, while the tale of a dramatic exit from the cave means awakening.
Good find.

Plato’s Cave provides a fine example of the type of philosophical work possible without distractions of television, newspapers, radio, (computers :) ) etc. That was an advantage for those who lived thousands of years ago over those living in “modern” times.
