How is watching a movie similar to dreaming? What goes on in our minds when we become absorbed in a movie? How does looking into a movie screen allow us to experience the thoughts and feelings of a movies characters? These and related questions are at the heart of The Power of Movies, a thoughtful, invigorating, and remarkably accessible book about a phenomenon seemingly beyond reach of our understanding. Colin McGinn-an ingenious philosopher who thinks like a laser and writes like a dream, according to Steven Pinker-enhances our understanding of both movies and ourselves in this book of rare and refreshing insight.About the AuthorColin McGinn is a professor of philosophy at Rutgers University. He is the author of sixteen previous books, including The Making of a Philosopher: My Journey Through Twentieth-Century Philosophy; Space Trap, a novel; and, most recently, Mindsight: Image, Dream, Meaning. McGinns writing has appeared in such publications as The New York Review of Books, London Review of Books, The New Republic, and The New York Times Book Review.
