| Abstract [eng] |
The article reflects upon one aspect of multimodal education – the possibility of teaching moral matters with films. This possibility was discerned by Stanley Cavell and has also been discussed in detail by W. B. Russell III. The author of this particular article sees some essential similarities and some differences between Russell’s suggested methodologies and stages and the methodology she developed herself and started to use actively since 2002, teaching practical philosophy courses. She is using films as analogy. Educators using this method of teaching with films customarily stress its purpose as being to develop critical-thinking and acquire knowledge. The article discusses the results of a multimodal teaching experiment teaching Christian ethics with two feature films: Ingmar Bergman’s The Winter Light (1963) and Robert Bresson’s Diary of a Country Priest (1951). These teaching experiments reflect the values of suffering, love and patience discerned by students. |
