In other words, Aristotle want to get back to the cave, instead of contemplating pure Ideas. Indeed, Aristotle departs from its original Socratic thought, in fact he thinks that the world is apprehended through the senses, the sensitive experience (It is the precursor of what will be known later, the empiricism). Also, note the figure of the traitor, the disciple dissenting enemy rallied to the cause: it is Aristotle who takes that role against Socrates / Plato. The world (the matrix) is a prison where there is neither hope nor taste nor smell, a prison for your mind” Matrix and The socratic MethodĪlso include the student-teacher relationship in Socrates / Plato, similar to Morpheus / Neo (and in Jesus / = Simon Peter). Like all the others you were born in chains. “ Morpheus: She (the matrix) is the world that superimposes your look to keep you from seeing the Truth. Neo will also see an Oracle (note the quotation from Plato’s old lady, “ know thyself“), like Socrates, he is the Elected and must save his people, and like him, he is dazzled by light after his release. In Matrix, the assimilation of Socrates as Neo seems appropriate. Indeed, Plato tries here to tell the life of his master (Socrates) who tried in his time, his fellow Athenians to think logically (the Pythia Oracle at Delphi prophesied that mission), he was finally put to death by his fellow condemned to drink hemlock. We can follow the metaphor of this escaped man, with the figure of the philosopher (trying to enlighten his fellow), particularly of Socrates. This dualism is typical of Plato’s philosophy. two levels of world: outside the matrix is the reality, inside is the world of illusion. In Matrix, there is a dualist metaphysics, i.e. This escaped man, trying to liberate other men from the world of illusion, represents philosopher. Having grown up in this system, they will defend to the end and will kill the escapee from the cave. They do not show themselves receptive to his theories. He wants to return to the cave to persuade, open eyes to other prisoners and set them free. One of the captives will be released, will leave the cave and will first be blinded by the light … eventually, he will realize that what he saw before was not the reality. The men have not chained bystanders, their shadows projected on the back of the cave, and hear their voices sound distorted echo of the cave. Behind them, the opening of the cave with a wall, behind which men pass on their shoulders all kinds of items. In the Republic, Plato and Socrates figure out a metaphor describing philosophers role: In the darkness of a cave, men are chained since childhood, looking towards the back wall. At this stage, a brief summary of the Allegory of the Cave is required. The main topic is of course (although for some people it is not so obvious) the Allegory of the Cave of Plato.
