Sooner or later men and women must abandon the protection that any sort of cavern such as home, the family garden or family itself can offer. In spite of writing from a by no means idealistic or metaphysical point of view, thanks to R. Sirera and to the very applicability of Platonic images, Plato becomes once again a classical reference which is both useful and even unavoidable if one bears in mind the Platonic origin of all the literary caverns.239430 bytes17 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Gilabert, 2008http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/PlatonismeSirera, Rodolf, 1948- .
