Philosophy and Film
S07
Ward Jones
In the past 15 years, the philosophical study of film has begun to come into its own as an independent, sophisticated, and respected field of philosophy. In this course, we will work through some of the important and foundational texts in this new field, looking at the nature of film, our emotional engagement with film, and ethics and film. The latter part of the course will involve looking at several essays from a new collection of papers entitled Ethics in Film.
