{"product_id":"the-beatles-and-philosophy-nothing-you-can-think-that-cant-be-thunk-9780812696066","title":"The Beatles and Philosophy: Nothing You Can Think That Can't Be Thunk","description":"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 Walrus\" to the rosy Rousseau-like fantasy of \"When I'm 64\" to the darkly existential\/nihilist visions of \"Eleanor Rigby\" and \"A Day in the Life.\" 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 groups' critique of consumer culture; John Lennon and the Cold War; Paul McCartney's philosophy of love, community, and politics; the Beatles' struggle against the inauthentic; the ethics of chemically changed states of consciousness; the metaphysical standing of popularized Eastern meditation; and skepticism in the Beatles' worldview. Like earlier titles in this popular series, \u003ci\u003eThe Beatles and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e discusses complex issues in an enjoyable, highly readable fashion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Baur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.07w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812696066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 244","brand":"Open Court","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40177449762931,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2e71f98a-8483-4173-a46e-c007a907200a.jpg?v=1655385008","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-beatles-and-philosophy-nothing-you-can-think-that-cant-be-thunk-9780812696066","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
