Interpreting The Matrix through Descartes’s Philosophy

Many ancient philosophers including Plato explored reality related metaphysics before Descartes cast doubt on this question. However, Descartes' view of the mind and body dualism is quite different from Plato's viewpoint. As Marleen Rozemond (author of dualism of Descartes) pointed out, Plato believes that the body is only a container for the use of the soul, and Descartes provides the evidence that the body and soul are interrelated (172). Not only do one person use other people but they are separated, but the mind affects the body and the body affects the mind.

"Matrix" is based on the philosophical problem advocated by French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes in the 17th century. One of the most important claims of Descartes is intellectual autonomy or the ability to think for himself. In the case of Descartes, this requires not only "good intentions" but also "good intentions". Descartes knows that his sensual experience is not necessarily consistent with the reality and uses wax arguments to prove how impaired the sensation is. However, as wax approaches the flame these functions change quickly.

Descartes is often called "the father of modern philosophy" and suggests that he offered a new philosophical species that departed from the old philosophy in an important way. This "old" philosophy is Aristotle's philosophy. Because it was diverted and interpreted through the Middle Ages. Indeed, since Aristotleism is deeply rooted in the knowledge system of the Descartes era, critics believe that evidence of the truth is found in the Bible. Therefore, when someone tries to counter the Aristotle's main principle, he may be accused of being punished holding the opposite position of God's word. However, in the days of Descartes, many people opposed Scholastic Aristotle's paper or some other paper in some way. Thus, when Descartes discusses the implementation of his modern philosophical system, the destruction of academic tradition is not unprecedented.
