💭 NEW PHILOSOPHY DIVE EPISODE IS UP! ✨Have you ever wondered if what you see is really real? 👀Plato, one of the greatest thinkers of ancient Greece, believed that our world is just a reflection — a shadow — of something deeper and more perfect. He imagined another world, a place of pure “Forms” or “Ideas,” where everything exists in its most perfect version.In this week’s episode, we explore Plato’s Allegory of the Cave — a powerful story about people who live in darkness, seeing only shadows on a wall and believing that’s all there is. But one day, someone escapes... and sees the truth. 🌅Through this story, Plato challenges us to open our minds and search for the deeper meaning of reality, goodness, and truth — not with our eyes, but with our reason.Here are 5 key words to help you on this philosophical journey:🔹 Essence — the most important quality of something.🔹 Perceive — to notice or become aware of something.🔹 Abstract — existing as an idea, not a physical object.🔹 Eternal — lasting forever, with no end.🔹 Ultimate — the final or most important thing.🎧 Listen to the full episode and let’s dive beyond the shadows:https://emotionalenglish.mave.digital/❤️ If you enjoy our podcast, support us and help it grow:https://boosty.to/emotionalenglish(or by bank transfer +7 903 207 22 34)💬 Question for you: Do you think what we see is real — or just shadows of something greater?#EmotionalEnglish #Podcast
