Philosophers argue that film can be philosophy
Original: “From Gilles #Deleuze and #StanleyCavell to Stephen Mulhall and Robert Sinnerbrink, an argument has been made that #film
An essay on Aeon traces a line of argument running from Gilles Deleuze and Stanley Cavell to contemporary thinkers Stephen Mulhall and Robert Sinnerbrink, holding that film is not merely an illustration of philosophical ideas but can itself do philosophy. The piece suggests philosophers have much to learn from cinema, reviving debate over whether moving images can constitute genuine philosophical thought.
Why now: The Aeon essay has drawn attention by arguing that cinema itself can count as philosophy.
