How To Escape the Dark! | Plato's Allegory of the Cave

Описание: Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is one of the most powerful stories in all of philosophy. In this episode, I explore what it means to mistake shadows for truth and what it costs to step into the light. Along the way, I connect Plato’s vision to psychology, politics, religion, and even modern media. This is a journey from darkness to light, and it still matters just as much today as it did 2,400 years ago.
