As the spread of knowledge and even theory becomes an increasingly audiovisual affair, how can philosophy adapt in ways that develop – rather than dilute – philosophical rigor and specificity? How can philosophy harness the potential of audiovisual media – being more formally multidimensional than text-only – to conceptualize with greater precision and depth?

This book presents a theory of formal development of philosophy in this regard: a theory of cinecepts. While spanning film, media, art, and critical theories as well as philosophy, this study proceeds mainly through a close reimagination of the work of Gilles Deleuze, which allows for a merging of what he kept separated: filmic thinking and philosophical conceptualization. Jean-Luc Godard & Anne-Marie Miéville’s underexplored 1970s Sonimage works are also the subject of extensive examination, along with critical considerations of a contemporary era of academic video essays and phenomena like philosophy channels on YouTube.
