Book description in the latest issue of the British Metal Hammer Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
An entire Pseud's Corner waiting to happen? "What can Descartes and 'One' tell us about the relationship between the mind and the body?" What indeed?
This collection of essays links Metallica's ideas with philosophers from Aristotle to Foucault, engaging with the big ideas of the past 2,500 years.
Intellectual snobs and proud lowbrows alike may dismiss this as a joke - though obviously not respected academic publishers Blackwell - and indeed some of the connections between Hetfield and Camus on the problem of suicide, for example, seem just a tad tenuous.
But then as an introduction to some of the major schools of thought it is no less worthy than popular books like Sophie's World that have also sought to bring philosophy to the mass market.

The book was rated with 7 out of 10 points.
