Open Court Popular Culture and Philosophy Series

Editors: Luke Dick & George Reisch

The Rolling Stones’ career has spanned nearly five decades,

garnering millions of fans and critical acclaim. Though their

stylistic genesis is rooted in the blues, they have established

themselves as an original fixture in American and world-wide pop

culture, and their fan base encompasses a diverse age and cultural

demographic.

The editors encourage contributions from philosophers and

intellectuals in closely related fields that explore or connect to the

theme “A Lifetime of Rolling Stones,” that is, chapters built around

stories or analyses of growth or change—-of individuals, ideologies,

philosophical theories, or cultures—-that explore or reflect the

wisdom and wit in the 50-year career of the greatest rock and roll

band in the world.
