Wim Wenders's Road Movie Philosophy
«[Wim Wenders's Road Movie Philosophy] is written in service of the resuscitation of our culture and the reclaiming the role of art. It reminds me why it is meaningful to watch films, especially those that are related to one's life as quest. This is undoubtedly a book that contributes to what Cavell calls philosophy as the education of grownups. It is an encouraging and inspiring call to teachers and students who are in search of the meaning of life.»

«René V. Arcilla has written a provocative introduction to Wim Wenders' road movies. The leading insight is that we have lost the root-meaning of "education." He wants to shift our conception of "education" away from class-room learning and toward the sort of broad expansion of self that comes through being "on the road," on a path or journey into the unknown. The German Bildungsroman traces such self-expansion through travel, and so do Wenders' road movies.»
