Shadow Philosophy: Plato's Cave and Cinema

By Nathan Andersen

Book Overview

Shadow Philosophy: Plato's Cave and A Clockwork Orange is a fine example of film-philosophy, offering something new to the discipline as well as being immediately useful to students. Nathan Andersen brings Stanley Kubrick's film A Clockwork Orange into philosophical conversation with Plato's Republic, providing a novel approach to the analogy between Plato's allegory of the cave and cinema that shows to take film seriously is also to engage with the fundamental questions of philosophy.
