Stoehr\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilm has become such an underpinning of art and pop culture that its potential for inspiring serious thought is often overlooked. Our intellectual involvement with film has been minimized as more in the audience want to be merely amazed and entertained. Essays written by both established and cutting-edge philosophers of film concentrate in this work on the value of film in general and the value of certain films in particular for the study and teaching of ideas. The essays explore such topics as the significance of narrative unity for self knowledge in David Lynch's \u003ci\u003eLost Highway\u003c\/i\u003e and in Paul Schrader's \u003ci\u003eAffliction;\u003c\/i\u003e ambiguity and responsibility in Akira Kurosawa's \u003ci\u003eRashomon;\u003c\/i\u003e consciousness and cognition in Orson Welles's \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane;\u003c\/i\u003e skepticism in Alfred Hitchcock's \u003ci\u003eSuspicion\u003c\/i\u003e and David Cronenberg's \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch;\u003c\/i\u003e language and gender in Neil Jordan's \u003ci\u003eThe Crying Game;\u003c\/i\u003e Platonic idealism in Chris Marker's \u003ci\u003eLa Jetee;\u003c\/i\u003e race in Spike Lee's \u003ci\u003eSummer of Sam;\u003c\/i\u003e the concept of the imagination in cognitive film theory; and the role of ideology in feminist film theory.
