In the introduction to his recent collection Filmed Thought, Robert B. Pippin offers in passing a broad definition of philosophy as “the non-empirical exploration of meaning and value” (2020, p. 5). This definition captures well the spirit of Hans Maes and Katrien Schaurbroeck’s edited collection, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight: A Philosophical Exploration, which forms part of the Routledge Philosophers on Film series. Time, love and death form the trio of themes of which Richard Linklater’s film trilogy most naturally lends itself to discussion, and it is indeed these themes that constitute the core of the book’s philosophical explorations.

Hans Maes 和 Katrien Schaubroeck (2021) (eds.) 日出之前，日落之前，午夜之前：哲学探索

在他最近的系列电影思想的介绍中，罗伯特·B·皮平顺带将哲学定义为“对意义和价值的非经验探索”（2020 年，第 5 页）。这个定义很好地体现了 Hans Maes 和 Katrien Schaurbroeck 编辑的合集《日出之前、日落之前、午夜之前：哲学探索》的精神，它是劳特利奇电影哲学家系列的一部分。时间、爱和死亡构成了理查德·林克莱特的电影三部曲最自然地讨论的三个主题，而正是这些主题构成了本书哲学探索的核心。
