Jimmy Buffett and Philosophy by Erin Mckenna

Jimmy Buffett and Philosophy by Erin Mckenna

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.

Scott L. Pratt, PhD, is Professor and Head of Philosophy at the University of Oregon. Dr. Pratt has published numerous journal articles in his areas of interest, which include logic, epistemology, pragmatist social theory, pluralism, and the history of philosophy.
