Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"The Grateful Dead and Philosophy" contains essays from 20 professional philosophers whose love of the Dead's music and scene have led them to reflect on different philosophical questions that have arisen from the enigma that is the Grateful Dead. Coming at the Dead from a variety of perspectives, ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, this book considers how the group fits into the broader trends of American thought running through pragmatism and the Beat poets. There's a pertinent analysis of how the parking lot scene with its tie-dyed t-shirt and veggie burrito vendors was both a rejection and embrace of capitalism, and much more. The lyrics of the Grateful Dead's many songs are also the basis for several essays considering questions of fate and freedom, the nature-nurture debate, and gamblers' ethics.

While it can be a bit tedious and grandiose at points, this is a highly entertaining book for any Deadhead - new or old. Not that justification of the music is required ... but seeing it through such a lens is certainly enriching. Recommended!
