Hitchcock and philosophy
Explore the enduring power of Alfred Hitchcock's films through a collection of essays by 18 philosophers. This book examines the deeper forces at play in iconic scenes, from the morality of terrorism in 'Sabotage' to the Nietzschean underpinnings of 'Rope'. It also addresses overarching questions, such as Hitchcock's reliance on the Freudian unconscious, in a way that is accessible to both film enthusiasts and casual fans.
