Philosophy 1
Special Topic: Philosophy in Film
Welcome to Philosophy 1: Philosophy
in Film
This course will explore key philosophical themes
as they run through narratives, dialogues, and aesthetic features of selected
films. One of the themes considered will be that of freewill
and determinism, which will provoke the consideration of whether or not we are
truly free to design our own
lives and plans and create our own destinies. Other topics include questions
surrounding the meaning of life, especially in light of existentialist writings
by philosophers such as Sartre and Camus.
