Pieter Jansz Saenredam (1597 - 1695) after Cornelis Corneilisz, The Cave of Plato.

|
| In Plato’s allegory of the cave, most people are looking at shadows of copies of real things. The philosopher must break free and proceed up the difficult descent to leave the cave and make it into the real world of ideas. All philosophy students feel the bewilderment of the philosopher climbing out of the cave and acclimating to the bright light outside. It is a sometimes painful process, but, nonetheless, an intrinsically rewarding one. |
