Andrei Tarkovsky. Philosophical Illuminations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798791340801)

In this book I examine philosophical implications of Andrei Tarkovsky's cinematic art. As I have argued earlier, Tarkovsky's art is grounded in mythopoetics. Mythopoetics is what makes Tarkovsky a true philosopher-artist and his cinema a part of the tradition which embraces the entire history of Western civilization. Andrei Tarkovsky. Philosophical Illuminations examines the mythopoetic character of Tarkovsky's art further toward showing it to be a proper phenomenology. While M. Heidegger helps me identify basic parameters of this phenomenology, for focused analyses of Tarkovsky's films I employ M. Merleau-Ponty, P. Florensky and E. Levinas, Plato, G. Deleuze, the Presocratics, M. Heidegger, and J. Derrida.
