Woody Allen and Philosophy: You
Mean My Whole Fallacy Is Wrong?
In Depth
Comedian, writer, director, actor, musician, and deep thinker, Woody Allen
is clearly trying to say something, but what? And why should anyone care?
Fifteen philosophers representing different schools of thought answer
these questions, focusing on different works and varied aspects of Allens
multifaceted output. These essays explore such topics as how
Schopenhauers theory of humor emerges in Annie Hall; why, for all his
apparent pessimism, Allen gives a brighter alternative to the Bogartian
nihilism of film noir; the importance of integrity for the Good Life, as found
in Manhattan; and the fact that just because the universe is meaningless
and life is pointless is no reason to commit suicide. Also here are droll,
probing essays on why hedonism is a health hazard, and why, despite the
fact that Earth may be swallowed by a black hole and crushed to the size
of a peanut, the toilet continues to overflow.

Whole Fallacy Is Wrong?

longing for insights into the witty sayings and cutting remarks Allen is

Conrad and Aeon Skoble edit a fine philosophical approach to Allen's
sayings and life, presenting articles which survey his pragmatic optimism,
his sex comedys and spoofs, and his artistic films alike. Articles focus on
Allen's philosophy and viewpoints and provide plenty of personal insights
in the process of analyzing his works.
