The Philosophy of Authenticity in 5 Movies

Catalog description

In Yunnan province, tourists can visit the famous Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. By the car park, they can also take pictures of beautiful waterfalls – which are, in reality, made of concrete. This provokes a lot of questions: Would you personally like to visit fake waterfalls? What does 'fake' mean? This course engages philosophy to explore the meaning of the imitation, the reproduction, and the counterfeit. We ask the question of whether 'fake' things have less value than 'real' or 'natural' ones. 002155
