Description
Film as Philosophy explores the intersection of film and philosophy, examining whether films can be considered philosophical in nature. Bringing together leading scholars from around the world, this book presents new research that fosters a dialogue between film studies and philosophy.
The volume provides a comprehensive historical overview of the relationship between film and philosophy over the past century, considering works by prominent filmmakers who also wrote about cinema, as well as other thinkers whose ideas have shaped our understanding of film. By shifting the focus from representational techniques to the medium's ability to "think," Film as Philosophy establishes a new perspective on the status, role, and function of film.
The result is a nuanced exploration that redefines the relationship between film and philosophy, opening up new avenues for inquiry into the nature of media and its place in our cultural landscape.
