Riassunto:

An assessment of the metaphysical life of the popular music performer by a pair of Springsteen aficionados and philosophy professors offers insight into the inspiration for his musical subjects, the ways in which his influential lyrics reflect his spirituality, and his concept about the human soul. Original.

Product Description: Known as the working man's poet, the Boardwalk prophet, or simply, the Boss. If love is a banquet at which we feed, Bruce Springsteen has provided much food for thought. In this collection of metaphysical probes, a gang of E-street philosophers will undress Bruce's deeper mysteries like irresistible Jersey girls. Can Springsteen settle the nature-nurture debate through his song Born to Run? What do the famous philosopher Ricuoer and Springsteen have in common in their depiction of time? These die-hard Springsteen fans, who just happen to be philosophers, compile an entertaining handbook to the field of Springsteen studies, covering topics like Springsteen's connection to Marx and the proletariat, Springsteen's concept of the soul, and his status as a poet.
