The first collection of its kind, The Continental Philosophy of
Film Reader is the essential anthology of writings by continental
philosophers on cinema, representing the last century of
film-making and thinking about film, as well as all of the major
schools of Continental thought: phenomenology and existentialism,
Marxism and critical theory, semiotics and hermeneutics,
psychoanalysis, and postmodernism. Included here are not only the
classic texts in continental philosophy of film, from Benjamin's
"The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" to extracts
of Deleuze's Cinema and Barthes's Mythologies, but also the
earliest works of Continental philosophy of film, from thinkers
such as Georg Lukacs, and little-read gems by philosophical giants
such as Sartre and Beauvoir. The book demonstrates both the
philosophical significance of these thinkers' ideas about film, as
well their influence on filmmakers in Europe and across the globe.
In addition, however, this wide-ranging collection also teaches us
how important film is to the last century of European philosophical
thought. Almost every major continental European thinker of the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries has had something to
say-sometimes, quite a lot to say-about cinema: as an art form, as
a social or political phenomenon, as a linguistic device and
conveyor of information, as a projection of our fears and desires,
as a site for oppression and resistance, or as a model on the basis
of which some of us, at least, learn how to live. Purpose built for
classroom use, with pedagogical features introducing and
contextualizing the extracts, this reader is an indispensable tool
for students and researchers in philosophy of film, film studies
and the history of cinema.
