About the Course

In this dramatized enactment, Jack (a philosophy student) uses a little magic to introduce Jill (a counseling student) to two deceased philosophers who have somehow managed to come back to life. The philosophers are Ludwig Wittgenstein and Jean-Francois Lyotard, twentieth century authors who have been critical to the postmodern movement. Because Jill is a counseling student, she asks the simple questions that all therapists and counselors want to ask of postmodern philosophers, and they answer her questions simply and patiently. The film is 54 minutes long. If you would like to see a free 2 minute preview, go to the course detail page and look for the link to a preview.
