You're listening to the Stoic Solutions Podcast - practical wisdom for everyday life inspired by the ancient tradition of Stoic Philosophy from Greece and Rome. I'm your host, Justin Vacula. Visit my website at StoicSolutionsPodcast.com. This is episode 104: Metallica and Stoic Philosophy. I speak with Dr. William Irwin – a returning podcast guest – about his newest book, ‘The Meaning of Metallica: Ride the Lyrics.' We talk about themes in Stoic Philosophy – found in the lyrics of Metallica songs – including the dangers of irrationality and relying on externals for happiness. We also talk about acceptance, humility, depression, self-improvement, and finding fulfillment. William Irwin is a Professor of Philosophy at King's College in Pennsylvania. He is the author of several books, including The Free Market Existentialist and God Is a Question, Not an Answer. In addition, he is the General Editor of the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series. Irwin's most recent book, published in April 2022, is The Meaning of Metallica.

More than 40 years since their formation, and 125 million album sales later, Metallica is as relevant as ever. Much has been written about the band, but never like this. The Meaning of Metallica is like a riveting conversation with a close friend. A thematic tour de force that traces Hetfield's lyrical development across the decades, this companion examines everything from deep cuts like “Confusion” to megahits like “Enter Sandman.” Sure to spark debate and discussion, The Meaning of Metallica provides a close reading of lyrics dense with details and rich with allusions. William Irwin is Herve A. LeBlanc Distinguished Service Professor and Chair of Philosophy at King's College, Pennsylvania. Irwin is best known for having originated the philosophy and popular culture genre of books with Seinfeld and Philosophy (1999), The Simpsons and Philosophy (2001), and The Matrix and Philosophy (2002). In 2006, became the General Editor of The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series, which includes Metallica and Philosophy (2007) and Black Sabbath and Philosophy (2012), among other volumes.   Comments on the book or this interview?

Conversation with William Irwin Professor of Philosophy at King's College and Series Editor of The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series. We talk about the relationship between philosophy and pop culture particularly in context to series of book edited around the subject.

We close out the conversation about Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season One with guest scholar James South, editor of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy: Fear and Trembling in Sunnydale and the upcoming Westworld and Philosophy: If You Go Looking for the Truth, Get the Whole Thing. Together we discuss the hidden chalkboard messages of 111, “Out of Mind, Out of Sight,” and the intentional fallacy of Merrie Melodies in 112, “Prophecy Girl.” Cordy finally goes to the library; Xander is a bully; and Buffy’s only 16.   Also, what did the Beatles know about invisible assassin school and when did they know it?   Next: Michael Adams, author of Slayer Slang: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Lexicon shares some words with me about the first two episodes of the second season, “When She Was Bad” and “Some Assembly Required.”   THE BREAKDOWN Intro / Guest (00:00 - 5:00) Main Topic (5:00 - 1:19:50) Outro / Next (1:19:50 - 1:26:16)   THE LIBRARY Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy: Fear and Trembling in Sunnydale (Popular Culture and Philosophy, Vol. 4), edited by James B.
