Through the stories that unfold on the big screen-everything from The Wizard of Oz to the Bourne trilogy-viewers often gain profound insights into the moral dimension of their own lives. Through a close analysis of a variety of popular movies, foreign films, and documentaries, Seeing the Light: Exploring Ethics Through Movies represents an innovative approach to the study of ethics and the development of moral reasoning skills. Initial chapters focus on the human condition as a springboard for ethical reflection, followed by coverage of how seven major ethical theories can provide a framework for analyzing movies for their moral message. Later chapters reveal how movies help us reflect on ethical decision-making. A diverse range of classic and contemporary films are woven throughout the text to illustrate each argument. Filled with illuminating insights and thoughtful reflection, Seeing the Light: reveals an ethical microcosm in the world of film that can help us think more clearly about the choices we face and decisions we make in the real world"--Provided by publisher.New York Academy of Sciences Ethics in motion picturesEthics in motion pictures.175PHI005000bisacshTeays Wanda859258MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790286503321Seeing the light3688945UNINA
