Description de l'ouvrage:
Charting new routes for film ethics, Transformational Ethics of Film develops a critical account of the ethics of personal transformation at work within the film as philosophy debate.

À propos de l'auteur :

Revue de Presse:
"Martin Rossouw's engaging, rigorous, and original book on the 'film-philosophy' movement breaks new ground in the 'film as philosophy' debate. By exploring film-philosophers' implicit commitments to a 'transformational ethics', he deepens our understanding of the ethical potential, as well as theoretical limits, of film-philosophy. Essential reading for anyone concerned with film and philosophy." - Dr. Robert Sinnerbrink (Macquarie University), author of Cinematic Ethics and Terrence Malick: Filmmaker and Philosopher.

"Rossouw approaches the question of the ethical impact of film upon its audience in a refreshing and original manner. Using Johann Visagie's theory of ethical transformation, Rossouw posits a complex process by means of which members of a film's audience can come to enhance their moral perspective. This is an important work that all those interested in the relationship between film and ethics will have to take seriously." - Thomas E. Wartenberg (Mount Holyoke College), author of Thinking on Screen: Film as Philosophy and Mel Bochner: Illustrating Philosophy
