  • THE PHILOSOPHY of STEVEN SODERBERGH the Philosophy of Popular Culture
    THE PHILOSOPHY OF STEVEN SODERBERGH The Philosophy of Popular Culture Th e books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will illuminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popular culture. Th e goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the intersection of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. Th is series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and examine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

    Juhasz, A. (2006). The Bush agenda: Invading the world, one economy at a time. New York: HarperCollins. Chapter 2 Ambitions of Empire We will actively work to bring the hope of democracy, development, free markets, and free trade to every corner of the world. —President George W. Bush, National Security Strategy of the United States of America, September 17, 2002 The failure to prepare for tomorrow's challenges will ensure that the current Pax Americana comes to an early end. —The Project for the New American Century, September 2001 Historically, Americans have considered themselves vehemently anti-Empire. Remember how the worst name that Ronald Reagan could give the Soviet Union was "The Evil Empire"? We have never liked to think of ourselves as either living in— or in pursuit of—an Empire. Clearly, this attitude has quite a bit to do with our roots as a nation born from revolution against an Empire and as a people whose heritage links them to every continent on the planet. Historian Arthur Schlesinger recently wrote: "The imperial dream has encountered consistent indifference and recurrent resistance through American history. The record hardly sustains the thesis of a people red hot for Empire."2 It seems, however, that "the people" have been left out of the discussion in which advocates of the Bush Agenda have decided not only that America is an Empire, but that this is a position that should be embraced, expanded on, and defended using any and all means available. Typical of the pro-Empire crowd is a piece written in 2003 by Robert D.
