When Reality Becomes a Rabbit Hole
A Victorian girl falls down a rabbit hole and finds herself in a world where cats disappear leaving only their grins, babies turn into pigs, and time itself can be murdered. For over 150 years, Lewis Carroll's Alice has captivated minds far beyond the nursery. Einstein reportedly kept the book on his nightstand, finding inspiration in its playful approach to time and space. Neuroscientists have named a perception disorder after her. Musicians, philosophers, and physicists continue mining its depths for insight. Why does a children's story about talking rabbits and mad tea parties endure as serious intellectual currency? Perhaps because Carroll understood something profound: the best way to examine reality is to turn it upside down. Beneath the whimsy lies a masterclass in philosophy, exploring questions that have puzzled humanity for millennia. Who am I? What is real? How do we know anything at all? Carroll's genius was making these questions feel not like homework but like adventure-inviting us to follow a curious girl who refuses to accept absurdity at face value, even when surrounded by it. G.K. Chesterton suggested Carroll's writing should be studied by philosophers to explore "the borderland between reason and unreason," using curiosity as a component of sanity that allows readers to enjoy nonsense without truly worrying about Alice's fate in an insane world.
