The Academic Corner
Let's get philosophical. This week, I'm posting a video about Plato's classic cave allegory. Guiding question: How do we break free from the cave?
Plato's Allegory of the Cave
Seeing things in unhabitual ways.
"They knew, for their own good reasons, what the world was like, and their experience acted as a filter through which any new message was tested, confirmed, rejected, challenged, and reinterpreted. Changing their minds would have meant changing the world they experienced, not simply convincing them of a new set of ideals around equality of opportunity and the desirability of a different world." - Kessler, Ashenden, Connell and Dowsett (1985)
