From the publisher
From the rear cover
Over the last decade the philosophy of film has emerged as a distinctive
field within aesthetics, engaging with a variety of questions concerning
the relationship between film and art. One question in particular
has become very prominent in philosophical discussions of film: to what extent can film--or individual films--act as a vehicle of or forum for philosophy itself? This is the domain of "film as philosophy," which forms the focus of this volume. The collection brings together a wide range of contributors, including both philosophers and film scholars. All of them address the question of whether philosophy can take the form of, or be articulated through, film. The contributors canvas a wide variety of forms and periods of film as they present diverse answers to this question.
