Literally meaning “The love of wisdom,” philosophy requires reflection on what is important in life. Since our own experience is always limited, it is important to consider experiences beyond our own. Films offer perspectives on how life might be experienced differently, often addressing philosophical themes in the process. So our class will be dedicated to philosophical reflection on themes like skepticism, relativism, personal identity, and determinism as represented in popular film.
