The Philosophy of Film: Introductory Text and Readings
“Congratulations to Wartenberg and Curran for their terrific anthology. Uniting key works in film theory, criticism, and philosophy, this much-needed text has excellent sections on core topics.”Deborah Knight, Queen’s University at Kingston“The Philosophy of Filmpresents a judicious selection of influential writings on the philosophy of film from across the spectrum of current opinion, though weighted toward the increasingly dominant cognitivist paradigm of film experience. The introductory and pedagogic material provided by the editors is uniformly helpful.”Jerrold Levinson, University of Maryland, and Past President, American Society for Aesthetics“Bringing together important writings by prominent philosophers and film theorists, this volume of readings with useful editorial commentary will prove a valuable resource for students of the philosophy of film.”Berys Gaut, University of St Andrews
