    Review
    “Sometimes certain books come along that stop you dead in your tracks, jolt you and challenge your thinking. This is one of those kinds of books. The kind of book that philosophers and anyone interested in the power of music to provoke and make change would relish. Stefano Marino and Andrea Schembari bring Pearl Jam into the Academy for the first time and along with them an arsenal of thinkers. Stop and listen up. It will give you all the answers.” ― Vicki Karaminas, author of Gaga Aesthetics. Art, Fashion, Popular Culture and the Upending of Tradition (Bloomsbury, 2021)

    The first scholarly discussion on the band, Pearl Jam and Philosophy examines both the songs (music and lyrics) and the activities (live performances, political commitments) of one of the most celebrated and charismatic rock bands of the last 30 years. The book investigates the philosophical aspects of their music at various levels: existential, spiritual, ethical, political, metaphysical and aesthetic. This philosophical interpretation is also dependent on the application of textual and poetic analysis: the interdisciplinary volume puts philosophical aspects of the band's lyrics in close dialogue with 19th- and 20th-century European and American poetry. Through this widespread philosophical examination, the book further looks into the band's immense popularity and commercial success, their deeply loyal fanbase and genuine sense of community surrounding their music, and the pivotal place the band holds within popular music and contemporary culture.
