Limitations of our thinking implied by Allegory of the Cave:
-People were in the dark
- All we know is shadows
- Shadows are the Appearances of reality.
- No one sees reality with their senses
- "light" is needed to see true reality
- reality is seen through intellect.
- People fear the unknown and the known of what they thought they knew.
- Ways to solve our "darkness" is to gain knowledge.
Limitations of our thinking implied by No Exit
-people give each other hell
- Each are in hell for their sins
- There isn't darkness present
- The company of others is "Hell"
The difference between these is that in Allegory of the Cave the location is more of the hell, or the "dark side" where as in no exit the people are what create hell not the location.
