FILM AND DEATH – Film-Philosophy as a Meditation on Death

FILM AND DEATH has three key aims: 1) to demonstrate that film-philosophy contains significant philosophical insights; 2) to show that such insights are best understood by means of film’s novel ways of thinking of time, finitude, and death; and 3) to argue that film’s thinking about finite time gives new meaning to philosophy’s traditional role as a meditation on death.
