RUIZ MOSCARDO, Javier. The Marriage between Film and Philosophy: Notes on Stanley Cavell’s Metaphilosophy. Diánoia [online]. 2019, vol.64, n.82, pp.177-187.  Epub 12-Maio-2020. ISSN 0185-2450.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704913e.2019.82.1640.

In this paper, some fundamental characteristics of the conception of philosophy defended by Stanley Cavell will be briefly explained, with special attention to his claim of cinema as a philosophical agent. The aim of the article is to expose synthetically some keys of Cavell’s metaphilosophical ap-proach, in order to develop his conception of film art as a type of particular philosophical praxis, based on the fact that cinema can be conceived as an adequate “medium of thought” capable of dealing with many philosophical problems.
