Litch use recently released, well-received films to explore answers to classic questions in philosophy in an approachable yet philosophically rigorous manner. Each chapter incorporates one or more films to examine one longstanding philosophical question or problem and assess some of the best solutions that have been offered to it. The authors fully integrate the films into their discussion of the issues, using them to help students become familiar with key topics in all major areas of Western philosophy and master the techniques of philosophical argumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRevised and expanded, changes to the \u003ci\u003eFourth Edition\u003c\/i\u003e include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brand new chapter on the mind-body problem (chapter 4), which includes discussions of substance dualism, physicalism, eliminativism, functionalism, and other relevant theories.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe replacement of older movies with nine new focus films: \u003ci\u003eAd Astra\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArrival\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeautiful Boy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDivergent\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEx Machina\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLive Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Serious Man\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSilence.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe addition of two new primary readings to the appendix of source materials: excerpts from Patricia Smith Churchland's, \"Can Neurobiology Teach Us Anything about Consciousness?\" and Frank Jackson's \"What Mary Didn't Know.\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe inclusion of a Website, with a \u003cb\u003eStory Lines of Films by Elapsed Time\u003c\/b\u003e for each focus film.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe films examined in depth are: \u003ci\u003eAd Astra, Arrival, Beautiful Boy, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Divergent, Equilibrium, Ex Machina, Gone Baby Gone, Her, Inception, Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow, The Matrix, Memento, Minority Report, Moon, A Serious Man, Silence\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmy Karofsky\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Hofstra University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary M.
