Question on Plato's cave analogy Very thorough and very modest. I need to think about it. My first impressions are:
Only an analogy? If the interpretation can be reversed, we got work to do.
The sensation is first, the analysis comes after. The analysis never fully grasps the sensation. Hence the cave reversion.
I don't see any reason for shadows. Bigness and smallness only appear in comparison.
Modern-day philosophy probably beats the crap out of all this classical stuff, and I would like to hear about it.
