In "Allegory of the Cave" Plato describes a cave in which people are born and are deceived by puppeteers who cast shadows using fires above and behind those in the cave. They are chained down so they cannot move nor turn their heads towards the exit of the cave where a true reality exists. To them‚ this is the true reality. They know of no other and will not accept it unless they were forced to meet it. The 1999 film titled The Matrix is very similar to Plato’s cave. Billions upon billions of people

4151 The Matrix directly relates to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. In both works‚ discovering the truth about reality is the major concept. In the cave‚ men are chained up and all they know is shadows of puppets that are displayed before them‚ illuminated by a fire that blazes in the distance. These shadows that the men see on the wall are all they know; this is reality to them. Much like in The Matrix how the people that are in the "Matrix" are unaware of that they are living in a world that doesn’t

Cave Art: Lascaux & Cosquer Cave When someone mentions cave art‚ everyone is probably going to assume that it’s art inside of a cave. Sure‚ they are right‚ but what kind of art?

Reflection Paper Josiah Hansen Kroski Philosophy 110 In the Matrix series there seems is quite a bit of philosophy.

This keeps you from waking up and “freeing your mind.” In one particular part Neo is offered 2 pills by Morpheus. This tends to imply that Neo always has a choice. He asked the question

In a study on the activity of cave crickets‚ they found that 45 percent of crickets moving out of the cave was affected by temperature and humidity (Campbell 1976).
