The cabinet of Dr. Caligari
The cabinet of Dr. Caligari
As I watched the short film which depicted the story read from the lecture, I chose the scene when
the Supposed doctor Caligari went mad because his subject of use had died. I chose this scene
not only because it reminds me of the many dreams and philosophies that many human beings
may have, be them normal or abnormal but, the fact that to everyone of them they are valid. In my
saying this, is relative to this course in a way of what nihilism can represent along with the previous
lectures. All people seek that something, be it God, idols or, self as that one true guide in life. This
story to me, reminded me of the philosophers previously discussed in these lectures and the stories
told by those who either were seeking truth, thought they knew the true path or, felt that nothing
mattered but the present. Some as the supposed Caligari went mad in their quest in search of the truth
and, some as the real Caligari in the story, were the real culprits behind others wanting to follow their
paths or be like them. This is the reason why in today's world I use Isis as an example of those who
are playing that game called follow the leader. Every philosopher believes their philosophy is the
the truth while everyone has lived a story.
