OverviewNeil Young and Philosophy, edited by Douglas L. Berger, explores the meaning, importance, and philosophical dimensions of the music, career, and life of this prolific singer/songwriter over the past five decades. Scholars from a wide variety of fields come together in this collection to examine everything from Young’s environmentalism, invocation of American Indian themes, images of women, and interpretations of human relationships to his confrontations with the music industry, his approach to social change, and his methods of creativity. The book builds on the fundamental commitment of the Philosophy and Popular Culture series to see the artist as a philosopher. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Douglas L. Berger , Douglas R.

Mike Jostedt ContributorsReviewsNeil Young is a musical artist who has long merited a critical review like this one. The eclectic series of chapter authors in this book take on Young as a musician and as a man, simultaneously of his time and able to step outside of it to studious effect in order to produce great music and a fascinating life. Philosophers like Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, Mill, Robert Heilbroner and Daniel Dennett are touchstones in the assembly of a scholarly work that assesses Young's childhood, his career, his family and relationships, his conflicts with the music business and his attitudes toward Native Americans. This book is a fabulous achievement. --David Simonelli, Youngstown State University Neil Young is a musical artist who has long merited a critical review like this one.
