The "Beatles" and Philosophy (Popular Culture and Philosophy) Book

The most popular musical group of all time, the Beatles also brought serious thought to the bubble gum-scented world of pop and rock music, with adventurous, profound, and sometimes mysterious lyrics that veered from the deliberate absurdity of “I Am the Walrusâ? to the rosy Rousseau-like fantasy of “When Iâ??m 64â? to the darkly existential/nihilist visions of “Eleanor Rigbyâ? and “A Day in the Life.â? In this lively new book, 20 Beatles-loving philosophers offer fresh insight into the lives and words of the Fab Four. Among the topics investigated are the groupsâ?? critique of consumer culture; John Lennon and the Cold War; Paul McCartneyâ??s philosophy of love, community, and politics; the Beatlesâ?? struggle against the inauthentic; the ethics of chemically changed states of consciousness; the metaphysical standing of popularized Eastern meditation; and skepticism in the Beatlesâ?? worldview. Like earlier titles in this popular series, The Beatles and Philosophy discusses complex issues in an enjoyable, highly readable fashion.Read More
