Johnny Cash and Philosophy: Ring of Truth
forthcoming in Open Court’s Popular Culture and Philosophy Series
Whether penning songs of social protest such as “Man in Black” and “Jacob
Green,” exploring the problem of personal identity in his biography of
Saul/Paul in the novel Man in White, calling for prison reform and social
justice in the Nixon White House, or expressing his faith in “When the Man
Comes Around,” Johnny Cash has served as a gadfly and social conscience for
generations of music fans.
For the forthcoming Johnny Cash and Philosophy: Ring of Truth we seek
proposals for chapters treating the relationship between Johnny Cash and any
aspect of philosophy. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): free
will and addiction, capital punishment, personal identity, the nature of
evil, religious experience, sexual morality, Native American rights, freedom
of expression, gender roles, prison reform, prayer, religious conversion,
postmortem existence, and Cash’s worldview [God, Love, and Murder].
As with other titles in the Popular Culture and Philosophy series, the
intended audience for this book is educated general readers, not academic
philosophers. Abstracts and contributions should focus on the philosophical
ideas, while keeping specialized jargon and philosophical name-dropping to a
minimum. Prospective contributors are encouraged to consult other titles in
Open Court’s Popular Culture and Philosophy series:
