PHI 270 - Philosophy and Film
This course will examine the art form and medium of film from a philosophical perspective. This objective entails not only examining certain philosophical issues and questions as presented in various films but understanding film as a philosophical text in and of itself, as posing challenges to how philosophers have traditionally approached classical aesthetical, epistemological, ethical and metaphysical questions. Some issues that will be addressed include how film frames questions for an audience through images, camera angle and text/dialogue and the kind of epistemic attitudes and skills the audience needs to engage with the resulting film. How does film offer a perspective on reality that differs from the written text or static image?
