Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Do humans have free Will? What distinguishes morally right from morally wrong action? Does God exist? Does life have meaning? What is the ultimate nature of reality? What are the limits of human knowledge? "Philosophy through Film" offers a stimulating new way to explore the basic questions of philosophy. Each chapter uses a popular film to examine one such topic- from free will and skepticism to personal identity and artificial intelligence- in an approachable yet philosophically rigorous manner. A wide range of films is employed all of which are readily available through major video rental chains. This unique and engaging introduction provides an exciting new way to learn about philosophy, and connects complicated philosophical questions to the familiar settings of popular culture.

Synopsis:

This title uses well-known films to introduce students to basic philosophical issues ranging from free will and scepticism to gender roles and Artificial Intelligence. It connects recent and traditional philosophical questions to recognizable situations in everyday life.

Synopsis:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 201-209) and index.
