New Acropolis Main centre hosted a talk titled A Search for Meaning Beyond the Visible on 8 February 2025 to explore this concept deeper.
The speaker explained how in Egypt, this is seen through the concept of “Neter” while in India, “Swadharma” represents the duty that allows one to connect deeply with life.
Plato, in his philosophy, likens this world to an illusory cave, where we are enchanted by fleeting shadows, yet the true meaning exists outside the cave in the realms of Truth, Beauty, and other eternal values.
A potential pathway to uncovering this deeper meaning, according to some scholars, lies in the figure of the Philosopher-Politician. As we look for meaning in a world defined by impermanence, the Philosopher-Politician may be one key to understanding a reality beyond the shadows.
