Woody Allen and Philosophy: You Mean My Whole Fallacy Is Wrong? Paperback - 2004

by Mark T. Conard; Aeon J. Skoble; Foreword by Tom Morris

The schlemiel who made Manhattan gets a philosophical once-over in these witty essays.


From the publisher

Comedian, writer, director, actor, musician, and deep thinker, Woody Allen is clearly trying to say something, but what? And why should anyone care? Fifteen philosophers representing different schools of thought answer these questions, focusing on different works and varied aspects of Allen's multifaceted output. These essays explore such topics as how Schopenhauer's theory of humor emerges in Annie Hall; why, for all his apparent pessimism, Allen gives a brighter alternative to the Bogartian nihilism of film noir; the importance of integrity for the Good Life, as found in Manhattan; and the fact that just because the universe is meaningless and life is pointless is no reason to commit suicide. Also here are droll, probing essays on why hedonism is a health hazard, and why, despite the fact that Earth may be swallowed by a black hole and crushed to the size of a peanut, the toilet continues to overflow.

First line

Other than sex and art, the one thing that the characters in Woody Allen's movies talk about most is the meaning of life, in one form or another.
