Begin forwarded message: From: "T. BOTZ-BORNSTEIN" <[email protected]> Subject: Call for Book Proposals: Philosophy of Film Date: January 30, 2015 at 06:20:55 PST Reply-To: "T. BOTZ-BORNSTEIN" <[email protected]> Resent-From: [email protected] The editors of the new Brill-Rodopi book series "PHILOSOPHY OF FILM" invite book-length proposals (monographs or edited volumes). ? Over the last several decades an increasing number of people have studied film with a general interest in philosophy. Philos-sophia, the love of wisdom, is an attempt at interpreting or questioning human existence and the world in its entirety. Naturally film can be one of its subjects. In this series, philosophical writers account for their experience of specific films, directors, certain themes, or the phenomenon of film in general. Philosophy of film exceeds the schedule of mere interpretation and puts film in relationship with classical philosophical questions such as (its own) essence, truth, or beauty. Those reflections can also take the form of film aesthetics and film theory, which are philosophical inasmuch as their approaches are methodologically sophisticated and they transgress empiricism. Benefiting from the intellectual wealth of the entire history of the humanities, this series is an ideal source for anyone interested in the philosophical dimensions of cinema.Webpage:?http://www.brill.com/forthcoming-series-philosophy-film? ?
