First published in 1966, The Discipline of the Cave is the first
series of a course of Gifford lectures on philosophical issues.. J
N Findlay 's lectures use the image of the Cave to show how
familiarity is full of restrictions, and involves puzzles and
discrepancies unable to be resolved or removed. Such philosophical
perplexities may be a result of the misunderstanding and abuse of
ordinary ways of thinking and speaking. They may also be a way of
drawing us towards being, providing proof of the absurdity of
ordinary thought, speech and experience unless modified and added
to in ways which may point beyond it. What may be called a mystical
and otherworldly element may need to be introduced into or rendered
explicit in all our experience in order to give a viable sense to
the most commonplace human utterances and activities.
