Philosophy through Film
Course #: PHIL 140G
Description:
By using imagery from the medium of film, this course attempts to show how philosophy can interconnect themes and ideas presented by film directors. Film provides the opportunity to consider traditional philosophical problems, but in a manner more reflective of the mode of communication of the age. As an aid to class discussion, students read scholarly papers in conjunction with viewing and examining a film. Central topics include epistemology, moral issues, personal identity, human freedom and the meaning of life.
Pre Requisites:
Degree students only, with fewer than 30 credits when they entered UMass Boston.Students may complete only one 100G course (First Year Seminar).
