"The Matrix is ​​the most philosophical novel I have seen so far. Its fast-paced plot is a philosophical problem every step. If the world we know is nothing more than a dream, is this dream real? If we can choose to swallow the red pills in Morpheus's hand, walk out of our world, and enter a world where the meme is real but not so comfortable, wouldn't it be a moral failure if we don't do this? Why do people have value beyond intelligent electronic machinery, and the spirit and the flesh can exist separately from each other?"

CCTV Science and Education Channel's "Reading" column once again used Lin Han's science fiction novels. This time the column group invited professional philosophers to analyze the content in "The Matrix" from a philosophical perspective and why it is so popular.

From the trailer currently exposed, we can see that philosophers with many titles are red-faced and have a secret and in-depth exploration of this complex art work from the perspectives of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, etc.!

Yes, CCTV personally stamped the "Matrix" with an artistic work. This is not only an ordinary science fiction novel, but also a literary work worthy of research.

"The Matrix" is very popular, which is a bit like the literary classic "Dream of Red Mansions". Different audiences can generate different excitement points at different levels!

All domestic philosophical researchers were ecstatic. After seeing the research of these peers, they devoted themselves to the novels and studied from several different angles and fields. Some even started writing papers.

However, readers and netizens are more interested in the analysis and discussion of movie content and real issues, rather than relatively empty content. How can ordinary people understand philosophy?

...

Yanjing University, the Department of Philosophy, is 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 trained many great scholars such as Zhu Ziqing and He Qifang.

There are many more famous teaching and research rooms here, mainly composed of the Marxist philosophy teaching and research room, the Chinese philosophy teaching and research room, foreign philosophy, logic, ethics, aesthetics, Buddhism and Taoism, Christianity and religion, science and technology philosophy and other teaching and research rooms. The faculty is the first in the country!

"Director, we are preparing to use the research of "The Matrix" as an important research content for the Science and Technology Philosophy Teaching and Research Department this semester. What do you think?" Professor Zhou Chen opened his mouth to report to the department chair. This is originally linked to the content of their teaching and research department. When studying philosophy in science fiction works, they have innate advantages!

The main areas of the Science and Technology Philosophy Teaching and Research Department are scientific social history, scientific practice philosophy, scientific philosophy, science and public policy, science and religion, innovation management and scientific and technological policies, which are barely tied to science fiction.

Before the department head Wang Jingming answered, Professor Li Shilong from the Department of Buddhism and Taoism started to compete, "I think this has something to do with our Buddhist thinking. What you are studying is science, not science fiction. The Buddhist connotation quoted in the Matrix comes from recognized Buddhist views. These include the image of peace, the essence of the middle way (not falling into each side), the application of rational choices, the way of self-knowledge, and the view that Buddhism is an abnormally capable of endurance religion..."

"Wang Jingming, you can just pull it down. The whole novel only involves some Buddhism. Do you want to give it to us if you want to have a general overview? "Professor Zhou Chen quickly retorted that this is a project that can attract a lot of attention and cannot be easily given to others.

The fisherman is profitable when fighting against the snipe and clam. Professor Zhao Dunhua from the Foreign Philosophy Teaching and Research Department said modestly: "Lin Han is not simple. Many of his novels are about our Western philosophy, such as Socrates and Descartes. And our teaching and research department just had free time!"

"The Matrix" is so famous. I'm afraid that the combined attention of these professors is not as high as this novel, so everyone wants to study it.

The department director Zhang Guangbao was troubled by them. All of these people’s qualifications were not inferior to him. It was not easy to get a bowl of water!

"Everyone, calm down! Since your research directions are different, then do research separately and then summarize the results. At that time, I will communicate with Lin Han with shamelessness to see if I can use the name of the Matrix to make a collection of essays called "Philosophy in the Matrix."

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

"I think it's pretty good, but at that time, some teaching and research departments should not drag their feet, and it will affect our overall quality!"

The tense atmosphere that had been tense before suddenly became relaxed. Professor Zhao Dunhua even jokingly winked at Li Shilong, like an old child.

Zhang Guangbao knocked his head and said, "That's the decision. You guys do research and I'll go find Lin Han. Try to get this collection out before the movie is released, so that our philosophy department can show off its face!"

Because the previous movie "Immortality" included professors from Yenching University, 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 issue of enrollment for the college entrance examination this year. Can it attract more high-quality students to apply for the exam?

He doesn't want too many people who are transferred by other majors. He wants people who really like philosophy, so this collection of essays that have not yet been born has become his life-saving straw!

With the help of "The Matrix", the popularity of the Department of Philosophy can be expanded, and the candidates will give priority to their own department when applying for the exam, and obtain more high-quality students.

...

In the library, Yang Lihua sighed in anger. Although he was considered a top student in high school, he found that the top student was not valuable at all, and the gods of learning were everywhere after he arrived at Yenching University, a place where there were hidden dangers.

He was unknown throughout the school. Compared with his classmates in his class, he seemed to spend all his energy on studying, so that he could barely keep up with others' progress.

Sometimes diligence can make up for shortcomings, but sometimes diligence is useless no matter how much diligence is, and it cannot be supplemented without that little inspiration!

Philosophy does not rely on rote memorization, but on understanding and absorption, commonly known as epiphany. After understanding, everything is very simple. If you don’t understand, you can only make up things and copy the things in the book!

Zhao Dunhua, a professor of history of Western philosophy, assigned a midterm assignment, asking students in the entire class to study the Western philosophy in Lin Han's novel "The Matrix" and handed it over in the form of a small paper.

Although it took two weeks, it didn't feel enough!

When Yang Lihua learned that "The Matrix" was an online novel, he refused. He was exhausted when dealing with various courses every day, so he had no time to read books seriously.

"Why does the Matrix have no physical books? This seems so inconvenient. Do you have to put a mobile phone or kindle next to it when writing a paper?"

Yang Lihua couldn't help but complain. He liked to buy a book by himself to outline or make annotations on paper, but "The Matrix" only exists at the origin. He has never read online articles and has to register an account specifically to put it in the bookshelf.

The book "The Matrix" is the result of Lin Han's integration of the plots of the three movies, so there are a lot of words. Yang Lihua's whole body is in a bad mood after seeing it!

But for the sake of scores and grade points, he had to write this small paper well, so he kept reading it.

However, this look was unstoppable, and these words seemed to be painted images. Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, Agent Smith, Prophet and others all echoed in his mind!

When the phone ran out of power, Yang Lihua realized that he rubbed his slightly sour eyes, "This novel is really good. Did I actually see it from the afternoon in one breath?"

The bright lights in the library reminded him of time. He didn't even have dinner and didn't feel hungry at all. He quickly packed up and prepared to go back to the dormitory to charge his phone. He wanted to read the contents behind "The Matrix"!

On the way back to the dormitory, Yang Lihua went to the supermarket to buy bread and yogurt, and planned to just do it. If he doesn't forget to eat or sleep, would he still be a book fan?

Yang Lihua opened the dormitory, but the other three roommates had not come back yet. He turned on the fluorescent light, then quickly connected the phone in his pocket to the data cable, and turned on the computer himself.

The novel needs to be read and the paper also needs to be written. After thinking about it, he gave a reward of 50 points on Qiandu Knowing, "Once we acknowledge the possibility of the existence of the matrix in the Matrix, can we still be sure that the external world is real?"

This is a question raised by the professor during class, but Yang Lihua cannot get the answer for the time being, so he wants to ask for help from all-purpose netizens, hoping that the versatile netizens can give him a reply.

In fact, "The Matrix" has become a very hot topic, so someone quickly responded!

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

But when we arrived, we suddenly became a mess: "The question is so familiar. Are you from the Department of Philosophy of Yenching University?"

"This looks like a question from Professor Zhao during class. Which classmate is the subject?"

"With Professor Zhao!"

"I didn't expect to meet classmates here, so let me answer you."

However, at this time, another reply directly surprised Yang Lihua: "Classmate, I am Zhao Dunhua. You must write your own small and medium-term thesis. Just write your own understanding. Don't borrow other people's thinking."

He had no idea whether this was Zhao Dunhua himself or the netizens were playing tricks. Anyway, Yang Lihua was so scared that he immediately closed the webpage. Fortunately, his Qiandu nickname was not exposed, otherwise it would be miserable!

Teacher Sixiu assigned a question, and then his roommate went to Bai.Du to ask the question and found that the answer was actually a student taught by the same teacher. He recognized who the teacher was by one question. Then the teacher came to answer it himself, which became a popular one for the school network (Renren) at that time.
