The combination between philosophy and the so-called 'popular music' is not always easy to imagination. In fact, the philosophy tends to give greater importance to other forms of culture and, in this case, the music. If, as Heidegger argues in The Origin of the Work of Art, "is the great art - and only this - that we here talks," it follows that the formula cxo cockpit of popular music (see the essay by Theodor W. Adorno on popular music) is relegated to the vast sea of socio-cultural phenomena that tend to consumerism.
Yet, the modern philosophy does not seem to think this way. In fact, the advent of postmodernism has led to a reshuffling of the relationships between 'high art' and 'mass art', so many philosophers have struggled with the problem of understanding the sociological value of popular music. One of them is Richard Rorty, in truth and freedom. Conversations with Richard Rorty says: "I do not think that philosophy has a particular object. Some people spend their time thinking about death, others to sex and money. I do not think any of these topics cxo cockpit is by nature the most philosophical of the other. cxo cockpit "
In the light of all the attention falls on U2, one of the most important groups of the international rock scene. It is undeniable fact that his music was the soundtrack of the lives of their fans. Hence the interest in analyzing born songs were composed between 1980 - the year in which he sees the light the first album titled Boy -, through the years of the rise with the album The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum, up to two thousand with All That You Can not Leave Behind, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and No Line on the Horizon. A total of twelve albums, considering also those of early October, and War, and those of the nineties Achtung cxo cockpit Baby, Zooropa and Pop.
Hands up who has never even heard one of their songs. Impossible. The songs of U2 have had - and still have - a considerable cxo cockpit following. One has only to think of With or Without You, released as the first single from the album The Joshua Tree in 1987. It is ranked 132 in the ranking of the best songs according to Rolling cxo cockpit Stone magazine. The group's frontman, Bono, talking cxo cockpit about the genesis of With or Without You stated that it detaches itself from pop ballads of the eighties. Rather, U2 are influenced by the music of Joy Division, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, The Who, Sex Pistols and Pink Floyd, just to mention some of the most important groups of sounds with punk and rock.
"Through the strom we reach the shore / You give it all but I want more / And I'm waiting for you / With or without you / I can not live / With or without you," these verses contain a promise of ' love. Eros - often associated with sexuality - want to be satisfied, but to keep him there agape which is measured and brotherly love. And it is this relationship - or rather, cxo cockpit in this conflict - that are focused U2 songs, spoken Ferdori Donato in Philosophy of U2. The conflict between Eros and Agape in the series published by Mimesis Contemporary Music.
So that you can understand the conflict that exists cxo cockpit between these two concepts of ancient memory, you must reconnect to the reconstruction that was performed by the Swedish theologian Anders Nygren. He clearly different eros dall'agape since the first part of the greek world, while the second of the Christian. And yet, in Neoplatonism, the first indicates cxo cockpit a ascensivo and possessive love of the human right to the Absolute, and to the abstractness of the unit, while the second is the love of the giver discensivo, in other words of God, that moves toward the world and humanity to reconnect it to him.
From this point of view, it is clear that U2's music gives voice to a complex message. Therefore, its interpretation is not always easy to implement. Rather, it requires some attention from the listener not only on the individual texts, cxo cockpit but also on several albums released between luck and the next
