The Cave

Product Information

There is a cave that is home to a creature: a creature that never leaves its cave… Because of the wolf. The wolf tries everything to tempt the little creature out of the cave, all to no avail. Until, that is, the creature fancies eating the tastiest doughnut, with sprinkles on top, that the wolf offers. But what happens when the creature finally leaves its cave? Saramago parallels the chained bodies found at the bottom of the cave under the Center and the clay figurines made by Cipriano and his daughter. But unlike corpses which represent us chained to the wall of the bottom of a cave, the puppets symbolize a new man. Free in this sense, they took out the oven, an image of the cave, exposed outside, and the rain processed the sludge and the sun dust, returning to their natural origin in an endless cycle of creation.

C. S. Lewis' novels The Silver Chair and The Last Battle both reference the ideas and imagery of the Cave. In the former in Chapter 12, the Witch dismisses the idea of a greater reality outside the bounds of her Underworld. In The Last Battle most of the characters learn that the Narnia which they have known is but a "shadow" of the true Narnia. Lord Digory says in Chapter 15, "It's all in Plato, all in Plato".At that moment he realized that his memory of the dream was about to flee, that he would only manage to hold on to bits of it, and he did not know whether he should rejoice over the little that remained or regret the much that was lost, this is something else that often happens after we have dreamed.” Saramago sets this story in a dystopia but it is not far off in the future – we almost live in it now!

James believed that the highest form of intellect is manifested in the ability to perceive similarities in apparently dissimilar things. James called this the ability to "subsume novel data."

If you can listen to audio, I think it would probably be preferable to reading this book. Maybe most people get used to the style of writing and I might have if not for the headaches. Cleavages have emerged within these respective camps of thought, however. Much of the modern scholarly debate surrounding the allegory has emerged from Martin Heidegger's exploration of the allegory, and philosophy as a whole, through the lens of human freedom in his book The Essence of Human Freedom: An Introduction to Philosophy and The Essence of Truth: On Plato's Cave Allegory and Theaetetus. [10] In response, Hannah Arendt, an advocate of the political interpretation of the allegory, suggests that through the allegory, Plato "wanted to apply his own theory of ideas to politics". [11] Conversely, Heidegger argues that the essence of truth is a way of being and not an object. [12] Arendt criticised Heidegger's interpretation of the allegory, writing that "Heidegger ... is off base in using the cave simile to interpret and 'criticize' Plato's theory of ideas".
