Rezension zu „Seeing the Light “
"Wanda Teays is truly an original thinker and captivating writer. Now I know how to answer the question "Have you seen any good movies lately?" Teays analyzes the ethical content of a battery of classical and very recent films, and I can't wait to get a copy of the book and teach it. What an intellectual and emotional blast that will be." -- Rosemarie Tong, UNC Charlotte "This is a wonderful book! Film is a dynamic vehicle to engage philosophy. You should buy this book if you want to energize your teaching or if you're looking for new avenues for your research. Teays has got it spot on." --Michael Boylan, Marymount University
