{"product_id":"the-beatles-and-philosophy-nothing-you-can-think-that-cant-be-thunk","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, The Beatles and Philosophy discusses complex issues in an enjoyable, highly readable fashion.","brand":"Marissa's Books \u0026 Gifts, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50701387956399,"sku":"pxh1792447470442","price":11.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/9595\/3071\/files\/the-beatles-and-philosophy-nothing-you-can-think-that-cant-be-thunk_1.jpg?v=1792447474","url":"https:\/\/bikershortv.shop\/products\/the-beatles-and-philosophy-nothing-you-can-think-that-cant-be-thunk","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
