Plato, Descartes and The Matrix

Plato, Descartes and The matrix what a trio of reading that if not for my ability to read without believe everything that was before my eyes, I would not know what to believe. After reading the iii synopses I had to regroup and come back, did I read this or was this a ambitiousness? I will now try and compare and contrast the terzetto and show if there were any similarities and differences. I will start with comparability Plato and the Matrix in that there are similarities between the dickens. The similarities are that in both synopses the players ( modern of the Matrix and the people in the cave) are being deceived by what is before them.The people in the cave are fooled by items carried on the head of people walking on a raised walk behind them. These items cast a shadow on the wall in front of them not knowing they are shadows the prisoners believe they are real. The encumbrance that came off the wall afflictivee by sound from the walkway was c one timeit to be real soun ds made by the shadows on the wall. In populace they were chained feet and neck and could not see the fire behind them that caused the shadows on the wall as people would walk by.In the Matrix we have Neo who believed he was a computer programmer for a software corporation, at night he would work on his computer hacking into other computers. He was told that in reality his world was an illusion, which was designed to keep people under control. In the allegory of the cave Socrates stated that when one was freed and had to stand up and turn his head and attend to around seeing light for the initiative time he would be unable to discern the items whose shadows he once saw on the wall.When told that the items was made of stone and wood and other materials and not real, it would be hard for him to believe. In the Matrix Morpheus tells Neo that the entire humanity race is unconscious with a giant machine keeping them alive. He then offer him a way out by victorious the red pill, whi ch he does and find out what is really going on. When we look at Descartes meditation compared to the other two synopses, there are almost differences. First the Matrix and Plato are both fooled by perceptions of what is real and what is not.In the conjecture Descartes is not really fooled, he want to reject all beliefs in things that are not completely certain, and create what can be cognize for sure. To do this he must first weaken his beliefs by passenger car in mind the fact his senses had fooled him previously. He then proposes other reasons to suspect that his beliefs are true. Next he bring up his evil deuce theory which could deceive him, he then consider if he is mad or dreaming. He want to suspend judgment on his beliefs level off if there is any doubt what so ever.In conclusion we have two synopses that have some similarities and differences and one that is completely difference. The Matrix and the people in the cave have allusions that are not real. Where as in th e guess we have one that want to forget everything that he ever believed to be true, and start over to form a new way of believe what is true and what is not true. All three synopses did however make you think what if? But believing in a God that created all things and everyone, I do not believe that I am dreaming.
