This fifth edition of Philosophy through Film uses recently released, well-received movies to explore answers to classic questions in philosophy in an approachable yet philosophically rigorous manner.

Author Amy Karofsky uses two films in each chapter to examine one long-standing philosophical question and assess some of the best solutions to it that have been offered. The chosen movies are not mere "add-ons" to an otherwise straightforward introductory text; instead, they are fully integrated into the discussion of the issues and the various positions. Each chapter also includes discussion questions, an annotated list of films related to the chapter topic, and two or three historically significant primary sources (which are collected together at the end of the book).

Changes to the fifth edition include:

• The replacement of older movies with four new focus films: Anatomy of a Fall, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Get Out, and The Time Traveler's Wife.
• The addition of new primary readings from Roderick Chisholm, Jerry Fodor, Baron d'Holbach, and Susan Wolf.
• Important new sections added to Chapter 1 on Truth ("The Identity Theory of Truth") and Chapter 5 on Artificial Intelligence ("The I in AI").
• A major overhaul of Chapter 6 on free will, determinism, and moral responsibility.
• Updated notes throughout.

The films examined in depth are: Ad Astra; Anatomy of a Fall; Arrival; Beautiful Boy; Crimes and Misdemeanors; Divergent; Equilibrium, Everywhere Everything All at Once; Ex Machina; Get Out; Gone Baby Gone; Her; Inception; Edge of Tomorrow; The Matrix; Memento; A Serious Man; Silence; The Time Traveler's Wife.
