Philosophy-screens - Mauro Carbone

Draws From Twentieth-century French Thought On Film And Aesthetics To Address The Philosophical Significance Of The Pervasiveness Of Screens In Contemporary Technological Life As Well As The Mutation Of Philosophy That Such A Pervasiveness Seems To The Flesh Of Images, Mauro Carbone Analyzed Merleau-ponty''s Interest In Film And Modern Painting As It Relates To His Aesthetic Theory And As It Illuminates Our Contemporary Relationship To Images. Philosophy-screens Broadens The Work Undertaken In This Earlier Book, Looking At The Ideas Of Other Twentieth-century Thinkers Concerning The Relationship Between Philosophy And Film, And Extending That Analysis To Address Our Experience Of Electronic And Digital Screens In The Twenty-first Century. In The First Part Of The Book, Carbone Examines The Ways That Sartre, Merleau-ponty, Lyotard, And Deleuze Grappled With The Philosophical Significance Of Cinema As A Novel Aesthetic Medium Unfolding In The Twentieth Century.
