The Idea of the World

理念的世界

“Symbols” and ‘masks’ reveal principles, but at the same time conceal their deeper truths. The sense of religion, as a symbol of power, demonstrates the power of the “symbol” itself, while the “mask” becomes the ultimate artistic disguise for worship and expression. Instead of returning to the real, power becomes attached to the unreal through the mask.

Plato questioned the variability of the world of perception, seeing it as superficial and unable to reveal the essence of things. The illusion of the virtual swallows up the space of the real of life, making the individual more and more uncomfortable in accepting the imperfections of the real under the cover of false perfection.

“符号”与“面具”能揭示原理，却同时掩盖其深层真理。宗教感作为权力的象征，展现了“符号”本身的影响力，而“面具”则成为崇拜与表现的终极艺术伪装。权力未能回归真实，反而因面具而依附于虚幻。

柏拉图质疑感知世界的多变性，视其为表面现象，无法揭示事物的本质。虚拟的假象吞噬了生命真实的空间，使个体在虚假完美的掩盖下愈加不堪接纳真实的不完美。
