Think through and reflect upon philosophical issues and arguments – Assignment Solution
Cinema and television can give us another avenue by which to think through and reflect upon philosophical issues and arguments, whether drama, science fiction, fantasy, or documentary. Philosophy engages with the concerns of life and film provides narratives about life, selecting various details and presenting meaningful patterns of development and events. In this way, then, film – whether historical or fictional – can shed light on our own lives and the kinds of philosophical problems that human experience generates. I’ve listed places where I think the films are commercially available (though, of course, there are ways of finding almost anything online). Assignment: Select one of the films in the  linked assignment  and consider the relevant questions as you write your 2-3 page review and analysis, connecting the film with our readings. Note:  You do not have to answer all (or even any) of the questions about a particular film. They are meant to get you thinking & suggest directions to go in.
