Before turning to the question to the usefulness of film and narrative
as aids in the teaching of philosophy -which is the main purpose of
this paper- 1 briefly consider the nature of the knowledge that is
imparted and the characteristics of the people we teach. 1 then
consider the convenience of employing rhetoric means, as well as
logical resources in teaching, to follow with an analysis of narrative
-both realistic and fictional, read in books or watched in films-. I
finish with some practical aspects of the use of film in the classroom.
