The Demiurge and Parental Realities
This chapter delves into the transition of seeing parents as relatable humans rather than perfect figures, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight the loss of childhood innocence. It connects this notion to the concept of the demiurge, a flawed creator in philosophical traditions, exploring its historical impact and relevance in modern culture. The discussion also emphasizes the philosophical implications of dualism, including Plato's views on perfection and the imperfect material world.
