Course description

Philosophy and Film combines the study of philosophy with the study of film. Philosophy provides the frame to analyze film, and film provides a means to understand philosophy. Students will be introduced to film as a uniquely powerful art form and philosophy as a profound mode of inquiry. Sample pairings could include Metaphysics and The Matrix, Epistemology and The Truman Show, and Ethics and The Dark Knight. Analytical, reflective and evaluative writing is a routine and central component of the course. (Note: Film selections may include movies rated R.)
