Another transfer. If Allegory of the Cave has shaped Western understandings of knowledge, truth, reality, ethics, & politics, Fable of a Frog in the Well has played a similar role in the Chinese approaches. There is some overlap but the differences and their implications are fascinating. The primary setup in the Cave is illusion/ignorance vs reality/knowledge while in the Well the primary tension is between limitation/small-mindedness and limitlessness/capaciousness. 1/ @philosophy#philosophy
