Imagine that it is dark and a fire is to the far right of the screen, behind the dancing people. That's it!
Just as in real life, the light source (in this case, the fire) needs to be behind the objects (in this case, the dancing people) in order for a shadow to be cast onto the wall. The point of the story is that the people in the cave think that the shadow puppets are real, rather than thinking things outside the cave are real. But you can't know that anything exists outside the cave unless you go outside the cave, like the philosopher did. |

In this video, we explore why during an era where there is more information than ever about how to live and be happy, we are more confused and less happy than ever, in recent history. We refer to the ever popular Jean-Paul Sartre and existentialist movement to try to find meaning in this increasingly chaotic world. |

Stoicism is a philosophy worked out in Ancient Greece and Rome thousands of years ago, but it remains hugely relevant to our own times: it offers us ways of learning how to cope with anxiety, fear and the dread of losing money, status and love. |
