In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave we are introduced to a form of humanity shackled in chains, in a form of perceptual bondage.
And in our daily lives we also experience a limiting of our social perspective regarding Covid-19.
What would a rescue from Plato’s cave look like today in a world where people are constantly battling the influence of misinformation while trying to stay safe?
Are there any contemporary figures in reality that have shown us any significant truths, in the current age, liberating humanity from their incorrect thinking?
Be sure to draw several connections between a modern truth figure and the type of perceptual liberation that Plato writes about in his allegory.
