The first book to explore the philosophy of Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is a “Mastermind” when it comes to songwriting, relationships, and performing at sold-out stadiums around the world. But did you know that she is also a philosophical mastermind? Since the release of her debut album, Taylor has been writing about ideas that have kept philosophers busy for hundreds of years.
Taylor Swift and Philosophy is a fun and accessible discussion of the themes, concepts, and questions that arise from Taylor's life and work. Combining top-tier philosophical research and a passion for Taylor's music, a team of scholars investigate the wisdom that can come from Taylor's songs, bringing new perspectives to important contemporary issues.
You don't have to be a specialist in philosophy or a devoted Swiftie to enjoy this one-of-a-kind book. Written with general readers in mind, each of the twenty-six chapters will deepen your appreciation of Taylor's work while discussing a wide range of topics, from the impact of first impressions and the moral obligation to speak out against injustice, to whether Taylor Swift is actually a philosopher herself.
Providing a kaleidoscope of ideas for you to explore, this book:
Discusses contemporary philosophical topics relating to Taylor Swift's life and work
Explains the philosophical connections of ideas expressed in songs from all Taylor Swift's eras
Features original essays by Swifties who are also philosophy professors and scholars
