About the Book

Neil Young and Philosophy, edited by Douglas L. Berger, explores the meanings, importance, and philosophical dimensions of the music, career, and life of this prolific singer/songwriter over the past five decades. Neil Young’s music has touched on a broad range of cultural, political and personal issues, all of which have enormous ongoing relevance for our own times. In order to accommodate Young’s artistic breadth, contributions of scholars from a wide variety of fields-- American philosophy, ethics, American Indian philosophy, feminist philosophy, psychology, philosophy of mind and religious studies--are included in this collection. They 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 experiments with recording technologies, 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.

About the Author :
Douglas L. Berger is professor of global and comparative philosophy and director of the Center for Intercultural Philosophy at Leiden University.

Review :

“Neil Young is a musical artist who has long merited a critical review like this one. The eclectic series of chapters in this book take on Young as a musician and as a man who was simultaneously of his time and able to step outside of it to studious effect in order to produce great music. 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

"This volume provides revaluation to the music of Neil Young by providing incisive philosophical analyses that illuminate our understanding of the trajectories of his career and his preoccupations. The authors never lose sight of what makes Neil Young a special, always evolving singer and songwriter who clearly ranks among the best of the last 45 years. This volume is useful for philosophers and Neil Young fans."--James South, Marquette University
