Reviews Jan (itch@little-itch.com), November 19, 2001, This book made me think!!!!!! The book, Edge of the Cave, challenges the reader to look beyond his own perspective and see the world from a different viewpoint. It is written on several levels all at one time. Based on the Platonic Cave, John Yates finds himself engaged to debate the crime of war. The philosophy behind John's adventure points out that man lives in his own little world he creates inside of his head. If he can let go of his fear enough to see past the shadows he himself created, he will be able to face the truths that are around him yet fails to see because of his insecurities. This is very descriptive of society as a whole. When faced with the prospect of having to change our ideas of truth, we as a society tend to panic. This has been a fact of life down through history, Christ and Socrates being the most prominant examples. When they challenged our ways of thinking they were seen as a threat. And so it is with John Yates who, in the beginning of the book, is in the process of a commitment hearing. Whether John is a Master, or just insane is left up to the reader to decide.
