PH 106 PHILOSOPHY AND FILM



Film and stories engage, challenge, and extend our imagination and help us to grapple with significant philosophical questions. It provides important cultural frames for understanding who we are and what we are doing and common ground with which to identify and discuss philosophical issues. In this course, students will locate philosophical themes in film and literature and enter into dialogue with them. By identifying philosophical issues as a part of everyday life, students will become more observant and reflective individuals. This course provides students with an integrated introduction to philosophy and some basic logic and critical thinking materials. Students will critically examine philosophical arguments to think critically about the conduct of life, the justification of beliefs, and the nature of the world. 3 Credits
