Twenty four hundred years ago, Plato, one of history’s most famous thinkers, said life is like being chained up in a cave forced to watch shadows flitting across a stone wall. Beyond sounding quite morbid, what exactly did he mean? Alex Gendler unravels Plato's Allegory of the Cave, found in Book VII of "The Republic."
Před 2 400 lety prohlásil Platón, jeden z nejslavnějších myslitelů historie, že žít je jako být spoutaný v jeskyni a pozorovat stíny míhající se na kamenné stěně. To zní dost morbidně. Co tím chtěl Platón přesně říct? Podobenství o jeskyni, které nalezneme v VII. knize Platónovy "Ústavy", vysvětluje Alex Gendler.
