Abstract

As its name implies, Life Above the Clouds: Philosophy in the Films of Terrence Malick gestures to Terrence Malick's ongoing interest in the philosophical qualities of transcendence in cinema. But moreover, this reference—quoted from the character Franziska Jägerstätter (Valerie Pachner) in Malick's A Hidden Life (2019)—also signals a continuing intellectual inquiry into Malick's stirring, provocative, and often puzzling cinematic work. In response to Malick's increased output of films, beginning in the early 2010s until now, many commentators have brought more scholarly attention to his work. Steven DeLay's expansive collection of essays in this anthology proves that the subject of Malick is far from exhausted, and continues to affirm this filmmaker as an arousing artist of aesthetic, philosophical, and cinematic intrigue. DeLay's impressive collection contains nineteen essays from over twenty contributors from a variety of philosophical, theological, literary, and poetic perspectives. While Malick is famously regarded for his early education in philosophy, and there has been much written already on the inherent philosophical themes throughout his filmography, Life Above the Clouds stands, perhaps unexpectedly, as a progressive and expanding addition to the current scholarship. Moreover, the book harbours a larger body of contributors in a single text than any prior substantial publication on Malick.

云层之上的生活:泰伦斯·马利克电影中的哲学
正如它的名字所暗示的那样,《云上的生活:泰伦斯·马利克电影中的哲学》表明了泰伦斯·马利克对电影中超越的哲学品质的持续兴趣。此外,这句话——引自马力克的《隐秘的生活》(2019)中弗兰兹卡Jägerstätter(瓦莱丽·帕切纳饰)——也标志着对马力克这部激动人心、煽动性、往往令人费解的电影作品的持续智力探索。从2010年代初到现在,马力克的电影产量不断增加,作为回应,许多评论家对他的作品给予了更多的学术关注。史蒂文·迪莱在这本选集中收录了大量的散文,证明了马利克的主题远未枯竭,并继续肯定了这位电影制作人是一位令人兴奋的美学、哲学和电影阴谋的艺术家。迪莱令人印象深刻的作品集包含了来自20多位贡献者的19篇文章,从哲学、神学、文学和诗歌的角度来看。虽然马利克因其早期的哲学教育而闻名,而且在他的电影中已经有很多关于内在哲学主题的著作,但《云上的生活》可能出乎意料地成为当前学术研究的一个进步和扩展。此外,这本书在单一文本中包含了比以往任何关于马利克的实质性出版物更多的贡献者。

期刊介绍: The Philosophical Quarterly is one of the most highly regarded and established academic journals in philosophy. In an age of increasing specialism, it remains committed to publishing high-quality articles from leading international scholars across the range of philosophical study. Accessibility of its content for all philosophers - including students - is an editorial priority. The Philosophical Quarterly regularly publishes articles, discussions and reviews, and runs an annual Essay Prize. Its distinguished international contributors engage with both the established and the new, for example, through reflection on cognitive psychology, decision theory, quantum mechanics.
