Course Description: Explores film through the lens of philosophy and conversely. Most philosophers agree that films illustrate philosophical problems, raise philosophical questions, or record philosophical arguments. But there is no such agreement on the more interesting question of whether films can also advance philosophical positions. We will focus on American social and institutional hierarchies. We will watch and examine movies that take up issues of race and racism, class and classism, and sex and sexism. And more. Students will be required to watch together one movie one evening every week.
Comments: Open to Seniors, Juniors, & Sophomores
