Tom Petty and Philosophy (Meki povez)

Seventeen curious, well-tuned writers (they're fans, too) turn their philosophical attention to Tom Petty in this intellectually rigorous and wildly fun ?little box set of big ideas'.

And that's why it's necessary?to give new context to songs and an oeuvre that defied his own explanation.??NEIL STRAUSS, contributing editor, Rolling Stone ?This is a fun appraisal of Tom Petty's masterful musical works as viewed through the framework of both classical and modern philosophical theory.

In The Logical Structure of the World, Carnap adopts the position of ?methodological solipsism and shows that it is possible to describe the world from the immediate data of experience. In his Pseudoproblems in Philosophy, he asserts that many philosophical problems are meaningless.
