دانلود کتاب Film als Wissensform

Processes of knowledge play a central role in the experience of film – whether documentary, fictional film or other genres. The investigation advances a basic account of specific forms of knowledge in film. Conceptually, the approach to film’s moving image is guided by phenomenological theories of the image and of film. Film’s form of knowledge is then specified within the scope of an epistemological inquiry into the knowledge of images, considered as acquaintance with the objects of image perception. In the course of the investigation, the acquired conceptual insights contribute to a clarification of several positions in film-philosophy. Finally, it is claimed that films can serve as a special field of application for philosophical skills as far as they exhibit some internal connections between philosophical contents and concretely perceived situations. Thus, a suitable film should not count as a self-contained contribution to philosophy, but as appropriate material for works in applied philosophy.
