Summary |
When many people hear "philosophy of film" they
think "philosophy through film." That is, they think of work on the
philosophical contributions made by film.
This middle category is home to work that explores the philosophy found
in movies and philosophy done in conjunction with a film. It contains both
philosophy in film and philosophy through film. The most common approach is
that addressing a single film. Less common, some address the philosophy of a
filmmaker. And, even less common, some work on the philosophical insights to be
had from particular genres of film, such screwball comedy and the western. |
