Enseñar filosofía a través del cine: un panorama bibliográfico

Abstract

In this panoramic bibliographical review of film and philosophy, there is a remarkable distinction between continental philosophy and analytical philosophy. In the continental tradition, several contemporary scholars have devoted their most recent studies to thinking about film, especially after the pioneering work of Gilles Deleuze. On the other hand, in the analytical tradition, there is a school of philosophical thought with a pedagogical vocation— in line with the pedagogical vocation of film itself—from which movies, directors, and genres are studied as tools for the teaching of logic, aesthetics, ethics, bioethics, medical ethics, environmental ethics, and politics. From this perspective, the aim is to learn philosophy while appreciating the transcendent scope of the cinematographic experience during and after the screening. This article explores the pedagogical possibilities of both traditions and emphasizes the scope of the analytical tradition, given its relevance for the teaching of philosophy—or any other discipline—through film.
