About this Unit
In 2013, this unit replaced by 101989 - Film, Philosophy, Theory. This unit considers the intimate relationship between film and philosophy through close examinations of key philosophical and theoretical writings on film (incorporating hermeneutic, phenomenological, ontological, psychoanalytic, cognitivist and aesthetic approaches). Treating cinema as a philosophical medium in its own right, the unit explores the ways in which philosophical concepts have been taken up and addressed by film, as well as considering the ways in which cinema has in turn influenced philosophy.
