Spanning generations and disciplines, pondering everything from art house classics to mainstream blockbusters, this book aims to fling open the doors to this conversation on all sides. Inquiring into both philosophy's word on film and film's word to philosophy, the interdisciplinary dialogue of this book traverses the conceptual and the particular as it considers how film catalyzes our thinking and sets us talking. After viewing the world through film, we find our world - and ourselves - transformed by deeper understanding and new possibilities.
