    "This points to the distinctive nature of philosophical reflection: it is less about observing the shadows that are projected onto the wall of the cave and more about becoming attuned to the background context in which the shadows are situated. To see our cave is to notice the unstated assumptions, conventions and habits that shape our observations and day-to-day interactions with the world."
