Through the stories that unfold on the big screen-everything from The Wizard of Oz to the Bourne trilogy-viewers often gain profound insights into the moral dimension of their own lives. Through a close analysis of a variety of popular movies, foreign films, and documentaries, Seeing the Light: Exploring Ethics Through Movies represents an innovative approach to the study of ethics and the development of moral reasoning skills. Initial chapters focus on the human condition as a springboard for ethical reflection, followed by coverage of how seven major ethical theories can provide a framework for analyzing movies for their moral message. Later chapters reveal how movies help us reflect on ethical decision-making. A diverse range of classic and contemporary films are woven throughout the text to illustrate each argument. Filled with illuminating insights and thoughtful reflection, Seeing the Light: reveals an ethical microcosm in the world of film that can help us think more clearly about the choices we face and decisions we make in the real world"--cProvided by publisher.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2011.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aEthics in motion pictures. 7aElectronic books.2local2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10630487zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c52757d52757
