(PRLeap.com) "The Cave of Ignorance: An Allegory", a new book by James S. Johnson, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc."The Cave of Ignorance" involves the experiences of eight people trapped in a cave. They only know partly why they are trapped there. They are unsure of what is going on in the world outside the cave and whether escaping from the cave will make them better off. Because it is a philosophical novel, there are many philosophical, psychological, religious, and social discussions as they seek a way out. Facing what seems like a very possible death in the cave, they each turn to their consoling beliefs or practices, religious or otherwise. The book is susceptible to various interpretations and should provoke serious thought. Many of the ways in which we humans are ignorant are presented. The need for people to understand one another better is a prominent theme.
