{"product_id":"philosophy-through-film","title":"Philosophy Through Film","description":"Many of the classic questions of philosophy have been raised, illuminated, and addressed in celluloid. In this Third Edition ofPhilosophy through Film, Mary M. Litch teams up with a new co-author, Amy Karofsky, to show readers how to watch films with a sharp eye for their philosophical content. Together, the authors help students become familiar with key topics in all of the major areas in Western philosophy and master the techniques of philosophical argumentation.\nThe perfect size and scope for a first course in philosophy, the book assumes no prior knowledge of philosophy. It is an excellent teaching resource and learning tool, introducing students to key topics and figures in philosophy through thematic chapters, each of which is linked to one or more \"focus films\" that illustrate a philosophical problem or topic.\nRevised and expanded, the Third Edition features:\nA completely revised chapter on \"Relativism,\" now re-titled \"Truth\" with coverage of the correspondence theory, the pragmatist theory, and the coherence theory.\n\nThe addition of four new focus films: Inception, Moon, Gone Baby Gone,God on Trial.\n\nRevisions to the General Introduction that include a discussion of critical reasoning.\n\nRevisions to the primary readings to better meet the needs of instructors and students, including the addition of three new primary readings: excerpts from Bertrand Russell’s The Problems of Philosophy, from William James’ Pragmatism: A New Way for Some Old Ways of Thinking, and from J. L. Mackie’s\"Evil and Omnipotence\".\n\nUpdates and expansion to the companion website, including a much expanded list of films relevant to the various subfields of philosophy.\nFilms examined in depth include:\nHilary and Jackie\nThe Matrix\nInception\nMemento\nMoon\nI, Robot\nMinority Report\nCrimes and Misdemeanors\nGone Baby Gone\nAntz\nEquilibrium\nThe Seventh Seal\nGod on Trial\nLeaving Las Vegas\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0415938767\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0415938767.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Litch, Mary M.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
