Philosophy goes to the Movies is a new kind of introduction to Philosophy that makes use of the movies to explore philosophical ideas and positions. From art-house movies like Cinema Paradiso to Hollywood blockbusters like The Matrix, the movies we have grown up with provide us with a world of memorable images, events and situations that can be used to illustrate, illuminate and provoke philosophical thought.Drawing from a wide range of cinematic examples, Christopher Falzon introduces and discusses central areas of philosophical concern, including:
* The Theory of Knowledge
* The Self and Personal Identity
* Moral Philosophy
* Social and Political Philosophy
* Science and Technology
* Critical Thinking.
Falzon draws from the ideas of a diverse selection of thinkers, from Plato and Descartes to Marcuse and Foucault.
Ideal for the beginner, this book guides the student through philosophy using lively and illuminating cinematic examples. It will also appeal to anyone interested in the philosophical dimensions of cinema.
