"Film is made for philosophy," asserted Stanley Cavell. In addition
to his work on scepticism, morality, and the intentions and
meanings of ordinary language, the American philosopher wrote
fascinatingly about cinema, arguing that film can reveal new ground
for thinking through old philosophical problems. In this book,
Catherine Wheatley draws upon Cavell's explicitly film-inspired
works, key philosophical concepts and autobiographical writings,
examining his analyses of films from Hollywood's Golden Age, the
French New Wave, contemporary action cinema, silent film heroes
Chaplin and Keaton, directors Cocteau and Hitchcock, and performers
Greta Garbo and Ginger Rogers. Revealing the ways in which Cavell's
thinking was shaped by the movies, Wheatly poses the question: what
was it about film that taught the philosopher how best to live in
the world?
