This book examines the theory, originally raised in Gilles
Deleuze's philosophy of film, that cinema has the power to restore
our trust in the world. Fruchtl demonstrates that cinema does this
in three main ways: by restoring our belief in the absurd, in the
body and in a sceptical abstention from judging and acting. Cinema
shares this ability with other arts, but what sets it apart in
particular is that it evokes Modernity and its principle of
subjectivity. This book further develops the idea of trust and
cinema by synthesizing the philosophies of complementary thinkers
such as Kant, Nancy, Agamben, Benjamin and Ranciere. It concludes
with examination of Cavell's solution to the problem of scepticism
and a synthesis of Kantian aesthetic theory with Cavellian
pragmatism. Originally published in German under the title
Vertrauen in die Welt, this English-language translation features a
new introduction that situates Fruchtl's work within contemporary
analytical philosophy of film. It will be of interest to scholars
working in Continental aesthetics, philosophy of film, and film
theory.
