"A work in both aesthetics and ethics, Visions of Virtue in Popular Film proceeds from the interplay of film and philosophy. It examines a group of first-rate popular movies to show how films that wonderfully entertain audiences also contain developed and important conceptions of virtue. By interpreting popular movies from this philosophical viewpoint, the book deepens our aesthetic appreciation of film.
At the same time, the analyses of film illustrate how narratives are essential to moral reflection by filling out and extending our understanding of moral life with the particulars of their characters and stories."--BOOK JACKET.
