Peter Krämer: Film, Philosophy and Philanthropy: Academic Work and Personal Ethics 30 September to 4 October 2024 Many students and academics often feel a disconnect between their studies and their daily lives. Academic analyses of cultural objects or societal developments are frequently based on ethical principles, such as justice, even if these are only implicitly acknowledged. While not a philosopher, film scholar Peter Krämer believes it is possible to clarify these principles and assess whether they are adhered to in everyday actions. Krämer has explored ethical issues in films like Schindler's List, Bambi, and A.I. Artificial Intelligence, prompting questions such as: What sacrifices are justified to save a human life? Is it acceptable to cause or ignore animal suffering, including in the wild? How should we treat artificially created minds? In this lecture series, Krämer will propose answers to these questions by analyzing the mentioned films, including their production histories and reception. He will extend beyond his Film Studies background to engage with relevant philosophical texts, facilitating the transition from specific film instances to broader ethical principles. Additionally, Krämer will share how he has applied these principles in his own life, particularly through philanthropic efforts, demonstrating an attempt to align academic insights with personal actions. The lectures will include a screening of the film A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
