Reviews

In a sure sign that Steven Spielberg has finally been accepted into the academic canon after many years of being unfairly disparaged as a superficial entertainer, his films have now become the subject of passionate philosophical inquiry and debate. This lively collection of essays on the ideas underpinning his films enriches and enlarges our understanding of Spielberg''s complex body of work. --Joseph McBride, author of Steven Spielberg: A Biography

At its heart, <i>Steven Spielberg and Philosophy</i> is a work that questions how the reader views Spielberg as a director, his various films, and even life itself. For these reasons alone, it is deserving of a spot on your bookshelf. --Ryan McKnight, Film Matters -- </p>
