The Symbolism of Light and Darkness

This chapter explores the concept of light and its relationship to perception, knowledge, and aesthetics. The speakers draw upon literary and philosophical references, such as Schopenhauer and Plato, to discuss the symbolic meaning of light and its connection to goodness, clarity, and universal ideas. They also examine the use of allegory and symbolism in literature, particularly in Cormac McCarthy's novel 'Outer Dark'.
