Book Presentation:
The editors of Ethics at the Cinema invited a diverse group of moral philosophers and philosophers of film to engage with ethical issues raised within, or within the process of viewing, a single film of each contributor's choice. The result is a unique collection of considerable breadth. Discussions focus on both classic and modern films, and topics range from problems of traditional concern to philosophers (e.g. virtue, justice, and ideals) to problems of traditional concern to filmmakers (e.g. sexuality, social belonging, and cultural identity).

About the authors:
Ward E. Jones is Associate Professor in Philosophy at Rhodes University and the Editor of the journal Philosophical Papers. Samantha Vice is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Rhodes University. She is co-editor, with Nafsika Athanassoulis, of The Moral Life: Essays in Honour of John Cottingham.
