Abstract
Viorella Manolache’s Political Philosophy in Motion *.mkv is an ambitious epistemological endeavor that covers the relation between film and political philosophy as part of The Academy of Romanian Scientists’ Research Project no. 12 – “Philosophy of Science, Mind and Communication: Knowledge, Awareness, Mental, Dialogical Being, Polyphony, Freedom of Expression, Meaning, Interpretation”. Across the five chapters of the book, the author examines no less than 99 visual productions (films, TV shows, documentaries) mainly from the U.S. and Europe by connecting them to an eclectic set of philosophical stances. The author’s access to a vast philosophical apparatus, running the entire who’s who gamut from Arendt to Žižek, Chomsky to Sontag, Eco to Ricœur, Derrida to Lyotard, or from Foucault to Habermas – just to name a few – enables her to create in the words of Marina Roman, “a conceptual template” which seeks to satisfy two main purposes: on the one hand, to update the contemporary history of cinema in light of a multiplicity of philosophical archaeologies, and on the other, to excavate and rummage through this history, in order to uncover the very “isotopes” at the core of political philosophy.
