Film and Philosophu Taking Movies Seriously

In film and philosophy: taking movies seriously philosophers and philosophical film theorists discuss movies in a way that takes cinema as seriously as any other fine art, leaving little doubt that the philosophy of film is a serious intellectual enterprise. After discussing the philosophical commitments of such early film theorists as Hugo Munsterberg and Sergei Eisenstein, this book offers detailed profiles of Stanley Cavell and Noel Carroll, providing archetypal examples of what it means to regard film philosophically.
