The Platonic Cave, its Orphic and Pythagorean influences & the Māyā of the Upaniṣads

In this exhibition we will try to compare the main characteristics of the image of the Platonic Cave contained in the VII book of the Republic with those of the Māyā of the Upaniṣads. The common beliefs are evident and involve, above all, the bonds that determine the state of man's imprisonment and the possibility of redemption through the purification of changing forms.
