CALL FOR PAPERS for a Special Issue of _The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism_ on "Film as Philosophy" Guest co-editors: Murray Smith (University of Kent, Canterbury) and Thomas Wartenberg (Mount Holyoke College) "Film as Philosophy" will focus on the idea that a film might have a philosophical dimension, or make a contribution to the enterprise of philosophy, beyond merely illustrating a philosophical idea or acting as source material for philosophy proper. This topic has been touched on implicitly by many philosophers of film, but only occasionally has it been addressed explicitly. Articles that focus either on the theoretical question of whether film can act as a vehicle of philosophy, or on particular films as sources of philosophic insight, are encouraged. Articles addressing other philosophical questions prompted by film may also be submitted, although the Special Issue will be centered around the topic of film as philosophy. For more information please contact: Prof. Murray Smith, [log in to unmask] or Prof. Thomas Wartenberg, [log in to unmask] Submissions should be no more than 7000 words and should be accompanied by a brief abstract.
