PHI204 Philosophy through Film
By using imagery from the medium of film, this course attempts to show how philosophy can interconnect themes and ideas presented by film directors. Film provides the opportunity to consider traditional philosophical problems, but in a manner more reflective of the mode of communication of the age. As an aid to class discussion, scholarly papers are read in conjunction with viewing and examining a film. Central topics include epistemology, religion, personal identity, human freedom and meaning of life, and death.
