Metaphysics is the study of what is real and what is knoweble. Garcia and Sanford preach Metaphysics useing words such as ontological status and source inorder to explain there claims. Ontology is the branch of metaphysics that studies the nature of excistence or being as such. So what are Garcia and Sanford's objectives when using ontological status? Garcia and Sanford believe that the world outside the matrix is "unreal" and the world inside the matrix is "real". Garcia and Sanford state (on page 61 of the reading) that " one way of determining ontilogical status is in terms of dependence". We as human beinings depend on "facts" that the real world does not depend on something else for its excistence it stands by itself. We assume that this is the real world and there is nothing else. In order to belive in the matrix you must believe that there is something more then the world we all know and enjoy. You must believe there is something more. You must belive that the unreal world depends on the real world for its excistence. Garcia and Sanford use ontoligical status because they depend on the theory. They depend on the thory because they belive that it may be true. I dont agree with Garcia and Sanford because if onthological status depends on being dependent. I depend on what i see hear feel smell and touch each day. I belive that the world as wee know it is the " real" world and there is no other outside world except heaven and hell.
Garcia and Sanford use the word source when describing metaphysics. Source is any thing or place from which something comes. (Dictionary.com) Metaphysics describes what is real and what is imaginary. I belive Garcia and Sanford made a great observation when using the word Source. We know the exact source for all the things in the world of the matrix. Even if you belive the matrix is real or fake we know there is a source with information that can support the claim that the matrix is real. "The matrix is a very complex computer program made by artificially intellegent machines. The very excistence of the virtual world and varigated demensions are the product of these machines" (page 61 of the reading). I agree with Garcia and Sanford for using a source to support there theory. I belive if there is a source then there is a possibility it is real.

good job brahhhh..straight to the point
ReplyDeleteWell, they were using onotological status only conclude wethere or not the matrix was real or not. They weren't using the theory outside of that aspect, so you have to set aside your own beliefs and see it their way. The matrix world depended on things which made it unreal, while the outside world didn't making it real. And you belive in heavon and hell only becuase you believ in it not know it. They were only using facts they knew about the Matrix.
