Paperback. Zustand: Good. Known as the working man's poet, the Boardwalk prophet, or simply, the Boss. If love is a banquet at which we feed, Bruce Springsteen has provided much food for thought. In this collection of metaphysical probes, a gang of E-street philosophers will undress Bruce's deeper mysteries like irresistible Jersey girls. Can Springsteen settle the nature-nurture debate through his song Born to Run? What do the famous philosopher Ricuoer and Springsteen have in common in their depiction of time? These die-hard Springsteen fans, who just happen to be philosophers, compile an entertaining handbook to the field of Springsteen studies, covering topics like Springsteen's connection to Marx and the proletariat, Springsteen's concept of the soul, and his status as a poet.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. "Seventeen curious, well-tuned writers (they're fans, too) turn their philosophical attention to Tom Petty in this intellectually rigorous and wildly fun 'little box set of big ideas'. In his hits, deep cuts, and videos they find complexity, ideas, and plenty of questions-plus some answers-about the human condition. I need to know, Petty once sang. These writers are really listening."-JOE BONOMO, author of Field Recordings from the Inside (2017) and editor of Conversations with Greil Marcus (2012)"A great song has worlds inside of it. And Tom Petty wrote a lot of them. But too often we don't stop to explore, question, consider, knock on a few of the doors that appear down a great song's corridors. In this collection, some thoughtful writers have come together to show us how they did it. It stands as a testament both to the strength of Petty's songwriting and record-making and the possibilities that remain as regards writing about music."-WARREN ZANES, author of Petty: The Biography (2015)"Maybe because he simply made it all look easy, Tom Petty never received the unanimous critical glory bestowed upon more obvious geniuses. But now that his career is complete, the world is gradually awakening to what his fans have known all along: Tom was plugged directly into the original juice of rock'n'roll, injecting that authenticity into everything he ever touched. This collection of deeply thoughtful, dimensional chapters goes a long way in setting the record straight. In each, the author bears witness to the profound impact of Tom's music on our lives, and also our thoughts."-PAUL ZOLLO, author of Conversations with Tom Petty"Tom Petty would have hated this book. And that's why it's necessary-to give new context to songs and an oeuvre that defied his own explanation."-NEIL STRAUSS, contributing editor, Rolling Stone"This is a fun appraisal of Tom Petty's masterful musical works as viewed through the framework of both classical and modern philosophical theory. Tom Petty and Philosophy is recommended for both the fan and the student of rock."-NICK THOMAS, author of Tom Petty: An American Rock and Roll Story (2014)"Just as no single musical genre easily ensnares Petty's musical catalogue, this book is-thankfully-not easily pigeonholed. It spans a wide range of topics. From whether Tom Petty was a feminist to whether the album Echo displays a situation of distress in Nietzsche's sense, there's something here for all Petty fans to ruminate and debate for years to come."-CLAY CALVERT, University of Florida professor teaching "Tom Petty 101"For the first time, serious thinkers explore the work of this towering genius of rock music. For fans of Tom Petty, this volume is an eye-opener, with fourteen music-savvy philosophers looking at different facets of Petty's artistic contribution. They examine not only Tom Petty's thoughts but also the thoughts we have while we listen. The authors, all Petty fans, come from every philosophical viewpoint: classical, analytic.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. As Deep as It Gets: Movies and Metaphysics is a witty and light-hearted introduction to philosophy through a deep study of some well-known movies and TV shows: Pulp Fiction, South Park, The Princess Bride, The Wizard of Oz, Super 8, The Twilight Zone, House of Cards, Inception, Monty Python's Life of Brian, His Dark Materials, Sergio Leone's westerns, and Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat.All the major branches of philosophy are covered, including aesthetics, political philosophy, metaphysics, and the theory of knowledge. The author's approach is "Continental," with some American idealism and process philosophy in support. The emphasis is on the primacy of time as a key to interpreting human experience. In that regard, existentialism, phenomenology, and process philosophy are better guides to thinking about time than the more popular approaches that depend on language analysis.Professor Randall E. Auxier says: "Philosophizing involves telling stories about life that are art, and making up stories that aren't life but provide a contrast to it. I want readers to add to what I see, and to take up interpretations contrary to mine. A healthy discussion is good for everybody.". …

Paperback. Zustand: New. Queen and Philosophy: Guaranteed to Blow Your Mind is a collection of cutting-edge philosophical essays on the rock group Queen, founded in 1970 and originally featuring lead vocalist Freddie Mercury.  Queen's reputation and fan following continue to grow in the twenty-first century. These insightful and provocative chapters include:? uncover the origins of Queen's unique style in prog rock, vulgarity, and lower versus higher Romanticism? examine Queen's view of love and friendship? draw upon three timeless Queen songs, "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," and "Don't Stop Me Now" and Socrates's behavior in the Apology, to understand the "rocking" nature of philosophy? identify the connections between ancient matriarchal religion and Queen's love for strong female imagery? explore how Brian May's astrophysics brings to bear the issues of absolute versus relative spacetime and how the philosophies of Newton, Mach, and Einstein contribute to Queen's creative output? analyze the structure of Queen's sound to answer the inevitable question, How can four people make all that music?? expose what Queen's songs tell us about the contemporary theory of mental illness and therapy? scrutinize Roger Taylor's stark impressions of ordinary life and death, and their alignment to the cynical musings of Diogenes of Sinope and Seneca's blunt observations on the shortness of life? look at the movie Highlander through the music of Queen and reveal how both song and cinema convey the philosophy of bushido, the soul of the samurai.…
