Legendary director, actor, author, and provocateur Werner Herzog
has incalculably influenced contemporary cinema for decades. Until
now there has been no sustained effort to gather and present a
variety of diverse philosophical approaches to his films and to the
thinking behind their creation. The Philosophy of Werner Herzog,
edited by M. Blake Wilson and Christopher Turner, collects fourteen
essays by professional philosophers and film theorists from around
the globe, who explore the famed German auteur's notions of
"ecstatic truth" as opposed to "accountants' truth," his conception
of nature and its penchant for "overwhelming and collective
murder," his controversial film production techniques, his debts to
his philosophical and aesthetic forebears, and finally, his pointed
objections to his would-be critics--including, among others, the
contributors to this book themselves. By probing how Herzog's
thinking behind the camera is revealed in the action he captures in
front of it, The Philosophy of Werner Herzog shines new light upon
the images and dialog we see and hear on the screen by enriching
our appreciation of a prolific--yet enigmatic--film artist.
