Fifteen philosophers representing different schools of thought answer the question: what is Woody Allen trying to say in his films? And why should anyone care?

Focusing on different works and varied aspects of Allen's multifaceted output, these essays explore the philosophical undertones of Anne Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Manhattan, A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy, and remind us that just because the universe is meaningless and life is pointless, is no reason to commit suicide.
