Hi all
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for clips I could use in teaching first year logic / critical thinking. I am looking for short clips with arguments in them (arguments in the sense of making claims, presenting reasons for holding a position, etc.). One example is the 'she's a witch!' scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Another is '12 Angry Men'. I am not looking for any particular genre, but just for examples of how arguments play out in a concrete context (e.g. moral dilemma, trying to figure something out in a thriller, or a legal dispute). The clips can be humorous, dramatic - anything really.
Thanks.
Best wishes
Havi

Subject: Just curious
For all the talk of Film and Philosophy here, it doesn't seem that
anyone refers to books like these:
Mark T. Conrad, ed. The Philosophy of the Coen Brothers
Dean A. Kowalski, ed. The Philosophy of the X Files (updated edition)
Jerrold J. Abrams, ed. The Philosophy of Stanley Kubrick
Mark T. Conrad, ed. The Philosophy of Neo-Noir
None of these titles mentions Deleuze....does that make them off
limits? unfashionable?
But a couple do make a reference to Derrida, Aristotle, Descartes,
Wittgenstein
perhaps they have been discussed in earlier threads and I just missed
it....does anyone recall that?
