Film as Philosophy: Essays in Cinema after Wittgenstein and Cavell

Film as Philosophy

Essays in Cinema after Wittgenstein and Cavell

2005 • 256 pages

This unique volume treats films as philosophy, rather than speaking of films only in relation to philosophy and subjugating the film in question to pre-existing theories. Bringing together essays from some of the leading scholars in the field, the book also features an interview with Stanley Cavell in which he explains his most recent thinking on the belief that films can think; that they can, indeed, function as philosophy.
