Abstract
For millennia, philosophers from plato to Descartes to Wittgenstein have argued over the nature of reality, its objectivity and apprehendability. alice in wonderland explores the nature of reality using logic, philosophy, and mathematics. The device of the rabbit hole, which establishes the entire underground setting of Lewis Carroll's alice in wonderland, replicates the cave in the "allegory of the Cave" from plato's Republic.
