"The Matrix is by far the most philosophical novel I've ever read, and its fast-paced plot is a philosophical puzzle at every step. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info If the world we know is nothing but a one, is this dream real? If we had the option of swallowing the red pill in Morpheus's hand and stepping out of our world into a world that was real but not so comfortable, would it be a moral failure not to do so? Why is it true that human beings have a value beyond intelligent electronic machinery, and that the spirit and the body can exist separately from each other? ”

The "Reading" column of CCTV Science and Education Channel once again uses Lin Han's science fiction novels, and this time the column team invited professional philosophers to analyze the content of "The Matrix" and why it is so popular from a philosophical point of view.

From the trailer that has been exposed so far, you can see that philosophers with many titles are arguing for this novel, and they are exploring this intricate work of art from the perspectives of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, etc.

Yes, CCTV personally stamped "The Matrix" as a work of art, which is not just an ordinary science fiction novel, but also a literary work worth studying.

"The Matrix" is hugely popular, which is a bit like the literary classic "Dream of the Red Chamber", where different audiences can generate different excitement on different levels!

The philosophical researchers in China were overjoyed, and after seeing the research of these peers, they also devoted themselves to the novel, studying from several different angles and fields, and some even began to write papers.

However, readers and netizens are more interested in the analysis and discussion of the content of the movie and the real problems, rather than the more empty content, where do ordinary people understand philosophy!

……

Yenching University, the Department of Philosophy can be called a leading department, many famous scholars in history have taught here, such as Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, Jin Yuelin, Zhu Guangqian, Feng Youlan, etc., they have cultivated Zhu Ziqing, He Qifang and many other university scholars.

There are many well-known teaching and research departments here, mainly by the teaching and research departments of Marxist philosophy, Chinese philosophy, foreign philosophy, logic, ethics, aesthetics, Buddhism and Taoism, Christianity and religion, philosophy of science and technology, etc., and the teaching force is the first in the country!

"Director, we are preparing to make the study of The Matrix an important part of the Department of Philosophy of Science and Technology this semester, what do you think?" Professor Zhou Chen opened his mouth to declare to the head of the department, which was originally linked to the content of their teaching and research department, and they had an innate advantage in studying philosophy in science fiction works!

The main areas of the Department of Philosophy of Science and Technology are the social history of science, the philosophy of science practice, the philosophy of science, science and public policy, science and religion, innovation management and science and technology policy.

Before Wang Jingming, the head of the department, could answer, Professor Li Shilong of the Department of Buddhism and Taoism scrambled, "I think this has more to do with our Buddhist thinking, you are studying science, not science fiction." The Buddhist connotations cited in The Matrix are derived from accepted Buddhist views. These include the image of peace, the essence of the middle way (not falling into the side), the use of reason, the path of self-knowledge, and the view that Buddhism is an exceptionally tolerant religion......"

"Wang Jingming, you can pull it down. The whole novel also involves a little bit of Buddhism in the spoon, do you want to summarize it with a little bit, or leave it to us! Professor Zhou Chen hurriedly retorted, this is a project that can attract a lot of attention, and it can't be easily given to others.

Professor Zhao Dunhua of the Department of Foreign Philosophy said very modestly: "Lin Han's kid is not simple, and many of his novels are the content of our Western philosophy, such as Socrates and Descartes. And we just have free time in our department! ”

"The Matrix" is so famous, I'm afraid that the professors together don't have as much attention as this novel, so everyone wants to study it.

Zhang Guangbao, the head of the department, was troubled by their quarrels, none of these people's qualifications were below him, and it was not easy to get a bowl of water!

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet! Since you have different research directions, do your research separately and summarize the results. When the time comes, I will be cheeky to communicate with Lin Han to see if I can make an anthology with the name of the Matrix, which is called "Philosophy in The Matrix". ”

After Wang Jingming heard Zhang Guangbao's words, he was the first to agree, "If you publish a book, the effect will definitely be stronger than publishing a paper alone, Director Zhang's proposal is good." ”

"I think it's good, but when the time comes, some departments should not drag themselves behind and affect our overall quality!"

The tense atmosphere before suddenly became relaxed, and Professor Zhao Dunhua even jokingly squeezed his eyebrows at Li Shilong, like an old child.

Zhang Guangbao knocked his head, and he said, "Then it's decided, you do research, and I'll go to Lin Han." Strive to get this anthology out before the movie is released, and let our philosophy department show its face once! ”

Because professors from Yenching University appeared in the previous movie "Immortality", and after becoming popular with the movie, there were many people who chose their courses.

Now that the Department of Philosophy is becoming less and less important, Zhang Guangbao is still worried about the enrollment of this year's college entrance examination, can it attract more high-quality students to apply for the examination?

He doesn't want too many people who are transferred by other majors, he wants people who really like philosophy, so this anthology that has not yet been born has become his lifeline!

With the help of "The Matrix", you can expand the popularity of the philosophy department, give priority to your own department when candidates apply for the exam, and get more high-quality students.

……

In the library, Yang Lihua sighed in annoyance, although he was considered a scholar in high school, but after arriving at Yenching University, a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, he found that the scholar is not worth anything at all, and the gods of learning are everywhere!

He was unknown throughout the school, and compared to his classmates, he seemed to spend all his energy on studying, so that he could barely keep up with the progress of others.

Sometimes it's true that diligence can make up for clumsiness, but sometimes it's useless to be diligent, and you can't make up for it without that little inspiration!

Philosophy does not rely on rote memorization, but on understanding and absorption, commonly known as epiphany. After I understand it, everything is very simple, if I don't understand it, I can only make it up and copy the things in the books!

Zhao Dunhua, a professor of the history of Western philosophy where he majored, assigned a midterm assignment for the entire class to study Western philosophy in Lin Han's novel "The Matrix" and turn it in in as a short essay.

It was two weeks, but it didn't feel like enough!

When Yang Lihua learned that "The Matrix" was a web novel, he refused, and he was exhausted from dealing with all kinds of courses every day, so how could he have time to read books seriously.

"Why doesn't "The Matrix" have a physical book, this seems so inconvenient, do you have to put a mobile phone or Kindle next to it when writing your paper?"

Yang Lihua couldn't help but complain, he likes to buy a book by himself to sketch or annotate on the paper, but "The Matrix" only exists on the origin novel network, and he has never read online texts, and he has to register an account and put it in the bookshelf.

The book "The Matrix" is the result of Lin Han's fusion of the plots of the three movies, so there are more words, and Yang Lihua is not good after seeing it!

But for the sake of the score and the grade, he had to write this little essay well, so he read it hard.

However, the words were like paintings, and Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, Agent Smith, the Prophet, and others echoed in his mind!

When the phone was out of battery and automatically turned off, Yang Lihua reacted, he rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, "This novel is really not bad, I actually saw the evening from the afternoon in one breath?" ”

The bright lights in the library reminded him of the time, and he didn't feel hungry at all after he hadn't eaten dinner, so he quickly packed up his things and prepared to go back to the dormitory to charge his phone, he wanted to see the rest of "The Matrix"!

On the way back to the dormitory by bicycle, Yang Lihua went to the supermarket to buy bread and yogurt, planning to just take it for a while.

Yang Lihua opened the dormitory, and the other three roommates had not come back, so he turned on the fluorescent lamp, and then quickly connected the mobile phone in his pocket to the data cable, and he turned on the computer.

The novel has to be read, and the paper is also to be written, and after thinking about it, he offered a reward of 50 points on the Qiandu Know, "Once we admit the possibility of the existence of the matrix in the Matrix, can we still be sure that the outside world is real?" ”

This is a question raised by the professor during class, but Yang Lihua can't get an answer for the time being, so he wants to ask for help from the almighty netizen, hoping that the versatile netizen can give him a reply.

In fact, The Matrix was already quite a hot topic, so it didn't take long for someone to reply!

At first, someone replied seriously: "I don't think I can confirm it, who knows if there is another bigger matrix outside the matrix?" ”

But when I got to the back, I suddenly turned a crooked building: "The subject is so familiar with this question, you are from the Department of Philosophy of Yenching University, right?" ”

"This looks like Professor Zhao's question in class, which classmate is the subject?"

"Same as Professor Zhao!"

"I didn't expect to meet classmates here, seniors will help you answer"

However, at this time, another reply directly surprised Yang Lihua: "Classmate, I am Zhao Dunhua, and I must write my own junior high school papers, just write my own understanding, and don't borrow other people's thinking." ”

He didn't know if this was Zhao Dunhua himself or netizens were playing a prank, anyway, Yang Lihua was so frightened that he immediately closed the webpage, fortunately his Qiandu nickname was not exposed, otherwise it would be miserable!

Hundred. Du knew that this was an episode of the author's personal experience, and the teacher Sixiu assigned a question, and then the roommate went to Bai. After asking the question, I found that the student who answered the question was actually taught by the same teacher, and I recognized who the teacher was with a question, and then the teacher himself came to answer, which became a popular topic in the school intranet (Renren) at that time.

Accidentally exposed the age, I think the people who have used the school intranet are basically off the list, except for me!
