Abstract

I will try to explain in the context of the Matrix and philosophy
what the truth is and whether there is the free will or not. Everyone wants to
know the truth, but no one clearly explains what it is. The matrix is the
desert of the truth and human mind remains therein thirsty. Can we know that we
are alive or dead, that is to say, what
is the difference between reality and imagination? Never can this problem only
be solved by our minds? So long as we try
to arrive at necessity, we absolutely remain in possibility.

Keywords
