This new textbook is an abridgment of the authors earlier Woody
Allens Angst: Philosophical Commentaries on His Serious Films
(McFarland, 1997; "invaluable"--Choice.) Five main topics are
explored: the desire of many of his characters to ground their
lives in traditional ethical values despite their realization that
such values may no longer be certain; the opposition between
pessimism and optimism throughout his films; gender issues relating
to romantic love, sexual desire, and the ongoing changes in our
cultural expectations of both men and women; the idea that
contemporary American society is rapidly descending into barbarism
precisely because of societal failure to maintain a sense of
individual moral responsibility; and a critique of psychoanalysis
as a method for understanding human behavior.
