- Description
- This book is an introduction to philosophy that turns to films in order to illustrate and discuss philosophical ideas and themes. Its primary aim is, by spending some time at the movies, to introduce some of the ideas and arguments that have occupied philosophers over the years, to present philosophical ideas and arguments concerning knowledge, the self, morality and our social and political existence. The book is founded on the belief that films represent a kind of collective visual memory, a vast repository of images, through which many of these ideas and arguments can be illustrated and discussed.
