Speaker: Hugh Taft-Morales
Many consider Plato’s parable of the cave a foundation of western philosophy. It offers insight into human ignorance, the potential for transcendence, and the cruel fate that can befall anyone challenging conventional thinking. What did Hugh Taft-Morales find two decades ago after crawling into an actual cave to produce a film about this metaphysical metaphor? He found the humility of unfulfilled dreams and the inspiring generosity of strangers. Today appreciating both limitations and gratitude animate his philosophy of life.
