Milestones
Lights!
Camera! Reading! Philosophy
Professor Thomas Wartenberg will read from his book The Philosophy
of Film: Introductory
Texts and Readings at the Odyssey Bookstore at 7 pm on Wednesday,
April 27. The book draws upon readings from philosophy, film
studies, and film criticism. Organized around a series of philosophical
questions about film, it presents an accessible and engaging
overview of the discipline. Offering clear and helpful section
introductions and thought-provoking reading questions, this
book is the ideal primary textbook for undergraduate courses
on the philosophy of film or philosophically oriented courses
in film theory.

four countries abroad, and 350-plus educational programs.
