Summary

\"Why BTS?\" Because BTS\' messages stand on philosophical ground.This is the founding principle of Philosophizing About BTS, author Cha Min-joo\'s thorough exploration of BTS\' messages through the lenses of 20 great names in philosophy, including Nietzsche, Hegel, Deleuze, and Adorno. \"This book exposes the philosophical ideas of the young generation in upbeat manner, challenging the notion that philosophical talk must be serious… The author guides us toward a fresh, new angle on BTS\' lyrics and away from exhausting philosophical overinterpretation. Rather than advocating vague optimistic views, this book delivers a message of hope that empowers the reader to rise from overconsumption, discrimination by differentiation and academic credentials, indifference, and social violence. Above all, it is easy and fun to read, but never light.\" – Lim Jin-mo, music commentator

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
