Thinking Through Film

Thinking Through Film provides the best introduction available to the diverse relationships between film and philosophy. Clearly written and persuasively argued, it will benefit students of both film and philosophy.

Cox and Levine's admirable Thinking Through Film picks up where Philosophy Goes to the Movies left off, arguing that films not only do philosophy but, in some cases, do it better than philosophers! The result is a rich and rewarding examination of films-from metaphysical thought experiments, personal identity puzzles, to reflections on the meaning of life-that shows, in bracing, no-nonsense fashion, how popular cinema can do serious philosophy.
