With Philosophy and Film: Bridging Divides, editors Christina Rawls, Diana Neiva, and Steven S. Gouveia gather essays of diverse methodology and disciplinary orientation to productively construct points of connection – “bridges” – within scholarship treating philosophy and film. As the anthology's title rightly reflects, bridges are meaningful only when they span an existing divide, and there are many such gulfs operative here. If the book grapples with a fundamental question – what might it mean to bridge philosophy and film? – it must concomitantly negotiate the question's terms: what is philosophy? and what is film (and film analysis)? These questions generally take shape around the gorges of disciplinarity. However, rather than officiate a film studies-focused quarrel between analytic and continental philosophy, the anthology more elegantly opts to let the authors speak for themselves; to quote the editors, “Philosophy and Film: Bridging Divides is philosophy in action” (p. 1). One consequence of this approach is that, while several essays directly articulate arguments concerning plausible relationships between philosophy and film, many do not. Another consequence is that few of the authors are in immediate conversation with one another, particularly where it concerns the analytic/continental divide. Thus, readers seeking answers regarding the book's fundamental queries are encouraged to make their own inferences – to build their own bridges – on the basis of the anthology's many examples. Film scholars, philosophers, as well as those betwixt and between, will find in this book a partial, but enlightening, catalogue of philosophical approaches to cinema and cinematic approaches to philosophy.

Christina Rawls、Diana Neiva 和 Steven S. Gouveia（编辑）（2019 年）哲学与电影：弥合分歧

随着哲学和电影：跨越鸿沟、编辑 Christina Rawls、Diana Neiva 和 Steven S. Gouveia 收集了不同方法论和学科方向的论文，以在处理哲学和电影的学术中富有成效地构建连接点——“桥梁”。正如选集的标题正确反映的那样，桥梁只有在跨越现有鸿沟时才有意义，而且这里有许多这样的鸿沟。如果这本书解决了一个基本问题——连接哲学和电影意味着什么？——它必须同时协商问题的条款：什么是哲学？什么是电影（和电影分析）？这些问题通常围绕着纪律的峡谷而形成。然而，与其主持一场以电影研究为重点的分析哲学与大陆哲学之间的争论，选集更优雅地选择让作者为自己说话；引用编辑的话说，“哲学与电影：弥合分歧是行动中的哲学”（第 1 页）。这种方法的一个后果是，虽然有几篇文章直接阐明了关于哲学与电影之间似是而非的关系的论点，但很多都没有。另一个后果是，很少有作者立即与彼此交谈，特别是在涉及分析/大陆鸿沟的地方。因此，鼓励寻求关于本书基本问题答案的读者根据选集的许多例子做出自己的推论——建立自己的桥梁。电影学者、哲学家以及介于两者之间的那些人，将在本书中找到部分但具有启发性的电影哲学方法和哲学电影方法目录。
