I thought to myself, there is no better way to break the ice here on Steemit with my first story submission than to do so with a post in relation to philosophy, especially one that delves into the axiom of a universal metaphor which stands key.
Here GCC Instructor David Makinster explores the metaphysics and methodology behind Plato's famous 'Allegory of the Cave' in this philosophical introduction.
Whether new or familiar with Plato's allegory, this is a video I'm eager to share and thus recommend as a rudimentary basis for the Freethinker and the Philosopher on their- which is also a blueprint for what many of us may already be experiencing at a point in our lives, or as we come to break beyond the veil of illusions that overshadows the very core of our being and livelihood in the current state of affairs in our world in this system.
I've heard no other overview that captures its depth quite like David's presentation and his admirable charisma to ease you through the inspiring 20 minute segment. In the past I've also encouraged viewers to re-watch and absorb the nuances of the content to truly reflect upon their selves, and their lives, as I have also done in the past.
Enjoy and best regards!
