Philosophical Hitchcock - 'Vertigo' and the Anxieties of Unknowingness

Vertigo and the Anxieties of Unknowingness. On the surface, The Philosophical Hitchcock Vertigo and the Anxieties of Unknowingness, is a close reading of Alfred Hitchcocks 1958 masterpiece Vertigo. This, however, is a book by Robert B. Pippin, one of our most penetrating and creative philosophers, and so it is also much more. Even as he provides detailed readings of each scene in the film, and its story of obsession and fantasy, Pippin reflects more broadly on the modern world depicted in Hitchcocks films. Hitchcocks characters, Pippin shows us, repeatedly face problems and dangers rooted in our general failure to understand othersor
