Really Good Noodles: Empiricism, Rationalism, Immanuel Kant, and the Matrix
Philosophia: International Journal of Philosophy (Philippine e-journal) 19 (1):95-106 (2018)
Abstract
Two lines of evolution in modern philosophy, empiricism and rationalism, are illustrated with ideas from the film, The matrix. The essay concludes with Kant’s defence of the idea that we do indeed live in a “matrix,” but it’s one of our own constructions. Awareness of this fact sets us free to create a better world.Author's Profile
