This volume advances the contemporary debate on five central issues
in the philosophy of film. These issues concern the relation
between the art and technology of film, the nature of film realism,
how narrative fiction films narrate, how we engage emotionally with
films, and whether films can philosophize. Two new essays by
leading figures in the field present different views on each issue.
The paired essays contain significant points of both agreement and
disagreement; new theories and frameworks are proposed at the same
time as authors review the current state of debate. Given their
combination of richness and clarity, the essays in this volume can
effectively engage both students, undergraduate or graduate, and
academic researchers.

"Aesthetics and film" is a philosophical study of the art of film.
Its motivation is the recent surge of interest among analytic
philosophers in the philosophical implications of central issues in
film theory and the application of general issues in aesthetics to
the specific case of film. Of particular interest are questions
concerning the distinctive representational capacities of film art,
particularly in relation to realism and narration, the influence of
the literary paradigm in understanding film authorship and
interpretation, and our imaginative and affective engagement with
film. For all of these questions, Katherine Thomson-Jones
critically compares the most compelling answers, driving home key
points with a wide range of film examples. Students and scholars of
aesthetics and cinema will find this an illuminating, accessible
and highly enjoyable investigation into the nature and power of a
technologically evolving art form.
