BF2S Forums Trivia Pursuit with Macbeth

widely misunderstood, as it isn't about subjectivism or ideology at all. it's about transcendentalism. a neat allegory, nonetheless.

could nitpick macbeth's definition as well, but i'm not going to be 'that' guy. the true form is the same as the saussurean semiotic Sign - it's pretty much unaccessible. it found it way through western enlightenment thought in kant's critique of pure reason - it's the noumenon, as opposed to the phenomenon.

both of them work. please teach me more though, polytechnic compsci grad.

The cave is one place where humans may have come face to face with the transcendental other/self. Paleolithic cave art tends to be in the deep recesses of caves, where a person could manipulate sound and cast their visions on the walls. Assisted or not by intoxication, those activities, especially the experimentation with one's voice, are boundary dissolving.

you have not read plato.

you clearly didn't know what the fuck it was about if you're talking about experiencing transcendentalism within the cave. plato thought poetry and all forms of dionysian revelry were a big noooo-no. getting all spiritual in the cave with intoxicants would have led to plato's concentration camp.

I'm not saying this is what inspired Plato's allegory. I'm just drawing a connection between caves and transcendentalism. And the types of revelry I'm getting at are not Dionysian.

Yes, I understand that.

After googling it I remember that I learned that in 8th grade while reading El Cid.
