Zusammenfassung:"In the first book-length work on Bob Dylan from a philosophical perspective, Bob Dylan: Prophet Without God defends the idea of Dylan as a modern-day prophet, albeit one of an unusual, almost unprecedented type. Dylan speaks to the ideals that have animated earlier prophets-social justice, individual freedom, and adherence to God-but breaks from past tradition in continually insisting on the conflicts between these ideals, leading him to make novel and important contributions to the meaning of self-reliance, the quest for rapprochement between the religious and non-religious, and the question of how ordinary people might operate in a fallen political world. The book aspires to an overarching account of why Dylan fascinates, even as it also explains why Dylan will remain a mysterious and elusive figure. Green places Dylan into conversation with a wide array of historical and contemporary intellectual figures to highlight the originality and significance of Dylan's political, religious, and ethical ideas"
