25 November 2013 Plato, Descartes, and the Matrix Essay After reading the three synopsis Plato, Descartes, and The Matrix from this week I learned that there are similarities as well differences between the three that I read. The three synopsis’s all revolve around philosophy in some way shape or form. Let me start my comparison between The Plato and The Matrix which is a favorite of mines. They similar because they tend have we as people questioning and have also different perceptions about the world we live in. they both were misled as to what the world we live in is and how it operates as a whole. There are also other topics as well that can be pointed to show exactly what else can be depicted about the comparison between them. The Matrix is Greek philosophy which is very interesting to a lot of people. The definition behind is the idea of freeing one’s soul or mind as even presented in the Allegory of Cave is a well-known idea attached to Greek philosophy. The difference between them is that The Matrix and The Plato’s tend to have reasons that justify and reasons as to why they tend to do what they do. It is something that they come up to make whatever wrong they are doing to give a good reasons as to why they are doing it. Seems like a wrong thing to do, but looking at my life I have ran into a lot of people that make up excuses to cover their behinds so others will be believers of their wrongs. A wrong is a wrong and a right is a right not the other way around. The bible is a great source to find out the truth to a lot so if you want to know if something is true pick up a bible to retrieve some of your information so you will have a better understanding. At the end of the Matrix we were left with a piece to my understanding that had me thinking we were living in a computer based world but I looked passed it, but it sometimes have me thinking. The Matrix is really based on Descartes which is about the human
