The polemic

Although the authors all are of the professional philosophers, a polemic burst at the time of the publication of the book, the ones showing them to benefit from the business success of film, the others to compromise itself to make philosophy of counter without interest (see “philosophy with the service of " Matrix" ”, Release , 11/11/2003). The interested parties answered on the general problem of the report/ratio of philosophy culture industries in the pages “Rebounds” of the daily newspaper Libération (“We all are of the Smith Agents”, 11/26/2003), and at greater length in an article of the Revue of esthetics (E. During and P. Maniglier, “Matrix: how philosophy can be done there”, Revue of esthetics , n°45, 2004, special issue on Deleuze).
