Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Jimmy Buffett and his music have affected literally hundreds of thousands of people around the world. His work also spans generations—he has been performing for over forty years—and genres. Is Buffett's music just a good time, or is more going on? Jimmy Buffett and Philosophy explores the work of a self-proclaimed non-philosopher and shows that the work of Buffett is indeed philosophical. The essays in this volume also use Buffett's work to exemplify and clarify important philosophical issues such as the meaning of community, personal identity, and the nature of being and the ideas of beauty, pleasure, and responsibility through the examination of his songs, novels, autobiography, concerts, and his fans.

Reseña del editor:

Jimmy Buffett and his music have touched the lives of millions of people around the world, spanning generations and genres. But is Buffett's music just a good time, or is there a deeper level to it? Jimmy Buffett and Philosophy shows the philosophical side of this self-proclaimed non-philosopher's work. The articles in this book provide an accessible approach to thinking about Buffett's music philosophically and to thinking about philosophy from the perspective of Jimmy Buffett's music. Along the way, questions are raised about figures in the philosophical tradition from ancient to contemporary -- Epicurus, Diogenes, Heidegger, Josiah Royce, William James, John Dewey, and Judith Butler. In addition, questions about a wide range of traditional philosophical issues, including aesthetic theory, identity, knowledge, culture, and being, are explored.
