New resources for you!
Hi all!
I have found this article with a film on Plato and Drill music. It's a pretty unusual take on this ancient Greek piece of philosophy!
Plato's Cave is a story you'll get to know in Philosophy. It's been used in films like 'The Matrix' and 'The Island' and others- basically it asks the question, 'Is what you are experiencing real? Or is it a distorted construct?'
It's worth a watch!
Please check out these: add this to your reading schedule and have a browse. Look especially at the 'Mind and Body' interviews/ articles as they relate to what you are doing about Rene Descartes. The arguments for or against whether there is a God, or whether there is any relevant evidence for God is also key. Have fun!
