FOOTBALL AND PHILOSOPHY
The Philosophy of Popular Culture
The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il-
luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu-
lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical
inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter-
section 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. This series seeks
to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a
major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam-
ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral
trends of philosophical 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.
