Description

This follow-up to the hugely successful The Matrix and Philosophy: Welcome to the Desert of the Real explores the issues of fate, fortune, causation and determinism as presented in the Matrix trilogy. It asks the reader to consider notions of freedom and analyses the metaphysical links and breakdowns between the three movies. Delving into the controversial issues of race, humanness, violence and religion, More Matrix and Philosophy will become a necessary handbook needed to navigate through the complex philosophical facets of the Matrix trilogy.
