Philosophy goes to the Movies Bewertungen

'Clearly and engagingly written... It has a particular claim on the attention of those preparing students for systematic study of philosophy, one that distinguishes it from any other introductory book I know of.' - Stephen Mulhall, Oxford University 'An excellent text. Falzon is in control of his material. He writes clearly and at a level that undergraduates can understand. He seems as comfortable describing films as he is explaining the nature of a philosophical problem... It will make an outstanding text to use in introductory philosophy classes.' - Thomas Wartenberg, Mount Holyoke College, USA
