Abstract

Post-Punk and Philosophy is a collection of twenty chapters by philosophers who are also post-punk fans, discussing many different aspects of the Post-Punk phenomenon. When does simplicity become too simple? Was punk a white proletarian movement? Are the best post-punk bands really pre-punk? Does technological innovation guarantee musical or artistic innovation? Does rock have a future? Post-Punk and Philosophy is a worthy follow-up to Punk Rock and Philosophy (2022), also edited by Heter and Greene, hailed as "a really fascinating book reflecting diverse points of view: thought-provoking, intelligent, and controversial" (John Holmstrom, founding Editor-in-Chief of PUNK magazine).
