STEVEN SPIELBERG

AND PHILOSOPHY

he Philosophy of Popular Culture

he books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will illu-

minate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popular

culture. he goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry

has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the intersection of

popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical

analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and

music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader

through examples in popular culture. his series seeks to publish both es-

tablished and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular

culture for philosophical interpretation and examine the philosophical

underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophi-

cal and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections

between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the

ever-expanding world of popular culture.
