Description de l'ouvrage:
This introductory volume presents an overview of the philosophy of film, a burgeoning sub-discipline of Aesthetics. It offers a sampling of paradigmatic instances of philosophers and philosophical film theorists discussing the movies in a fashion that takes cinema as seriously as any other Fine Art, leaving little doubt that doing philosophy of film is a serious intellectual enterprise.

À propos de l'auteur :

His publications include, amongst others, Dark Thoughts: Philosophic Reflections on Cinematic Horror (2003).

Revue de Presse:
A thoughtful introduction to examining how philosophy responds to films, and how films explore philosophical ideas. Daniel Garrett, Off Screen
