Recenzii
"Cinematic Ethics provides a perceptive and compelling account of cinema’s capacity to offer ethical insight. Engaging with influential thinkers such as Stanley Cavell and Gilles Deleuze and examining cognitivist and phenomenological approaches to empathy and affect, Sinnerbrink explores varied perspectives on the relationship between film and ethical life and makes an eloquent argument for cinema as a medium of ethical experience."
Jane Stadler, The University of Queensland, Australia
"Cinematic Ethics provides a wonderfully stimulating new take on this extremely popular topic. Sinnerbrink writes with outstanding clarity. He explains complex philosophical ideas in a manner accessible to all, using some of the most important contemporary works of global cinema. This superb interdisciplinary book has set the standard for many years to come."
David Martin-Jones, University of Glasgow, UK
"Within this book Sinnerbrick masterfully demonstrates the power of cinema to engage vitally with the experiential richness of ethics, and makes a strong case for cinema as a space for education, exploration, emotional engagement and cognitive understanding."
Fiona Jenkins, Australian National University, Australia
"Robert Sinnerbrink has written a wonderful book that offers an engaging examination of the themes, textures and ambiguities of films. Cinematic Ethics articulates a convincing defence of cinema as a ‘medium of ethical experience’ while additionally making illuminating interventions into long-running debates."
Richard Rushton, Lancaster University, UK
"Combining acute theoretical discussions with sensitive interpretations of individual films, Cinematic Ethics makes an important and unique contribution to the philosophy of film. A must read for anyone interested in ethics and cinema."
Thomas Wartenberg, Mount Holyoke College, USA
"Going far beyond discussions of movies as thought experiments, or as illustrations of ethical theories in action, Sinnerbrink explores the existential approaches of Cavell and Deleuze, the relations between affect and ethics, and the more complex and ambiguous ways in which ethical and social-political issues can be seen as mobilised by time-image films."
Dan Shaw, Film-Philosophy, Volume 21 Issue 2, Page 245-248.
‘It is a must-read for anyone trying to get the "lay of the land" of cinematic ethics.’
Dan Shaw, Film-Philosophy, Volume 21 Issue 2, Page 245-248
"It will be of value both to film-philosophers and theorists on the one hand, and dedicated cinephiles on the other. I recommend it to both camps, and for upper level classes on the philosophy of film."
