Film has been the most popular form of human artistic expression for nearly one hundred years. The cultural, social, and political impact of film has made it an obvious choice for many thinkers. This short course provides an opportunity to discuss the philosophical contributions of some of the main theorists working in this area. In order to key the philosophy to the medium, short extracts from selected films will be used as the basis for each meeting. This course is offered by the School of Idea based in Richmond London with a 20 minute connection from Waterloo.Week 1 What is film? The World Viewed Stanley Cavell Week 2 How to think about Cinema.
