The Matrix trilogy is unique among recent popular films in that it
is constructed around important philosophical questions--classic
questions which have fascinated philosophers and other thinkers for
thousands of years. Editor Christopher Grau here presents a
collection of new, intriguing essays about some of the powerful and
ancient questions broached by The Matrix and its sequels, written
by some of the most prominent and reputable philosophers working
today. They provide intelligent, accessible, and thought-provoking
examinations of the philosophical issues that support the
films.
Philosophers Explore The Matrix includes an introduction that
surveys the use of philosophical ideas in the film. Topics that the
contributors tackle include: how a collaborative dream could differ
from hallucination, the difference between the Matrix and the
"real" world; why living in the Matrix would be considered "bad";
the similarities between the Matrix and Plato's Cave; the moral
status of artificially created beings, whether one can behave
immorally in illusory circumstances, and the true nature of free
will and responsibility. This volume also includes an appendix of
classic philosophical writing on these issues by Plato, Berkeley,
Descartes, Putnam, and Nozick.
Philosophers Explore The Matrix will fascinate any fan of the
films who wants to delve deeper into their themes, as well as any
student of philosophy who desires an accessible entry into this
challenging and profoundly vital world of ideas.
