Description

This collection of specially commissioned chapters explores the many philosophical issues raised by Richard Linklater's critically-acclaimed 'Before' trilogy. Topics include the nature of love, romanticism and marriage, as well as the meaning of life, the passage and experience of time, and the narrative self.

The Philosophy of Richard Linklater's Before Trilogy offers a unique perspective on these themes, drawing on the films to illuminate key philosophical concepts. An introduction by the editors provides context for the trilogy, while an interview with Julie Delpy sheds light on the importance of studying philosophy in relation to film and other subjects.

Essential reading for students of philosophy, aesthetics and film studies, this book is also of interest to those exploring related fields such as literature and gender studies. The result is a thought-provoking exploration that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and popular culture.
