A new book is forthcoming this spring: Steve Jobs and Philosophy.
The editor is Shawn E. Klein, a professor of philosophy at Rockford University. He has assembled sixteen essays on Steve Jobs’s impact. Klein’s summary:
“Jobs was an outstanding achiever and a complex man with serious faults. This book is neither demonization nor hagiography. It is not intended as indictment or apology. The chapters are thoughtful, mostly philosophical, examinations, from different points of view, of Steve Jobs’s life and work, and their impact on our culture and the way we live.”
The book is part of Open Court Publishing’s Popular Culture and Philosophy series.
I contributed the essay “How Can We Make Entrepreneurs?” Other contributors whose work I know include Terry Noel, Carrie-Ann Biondi, Robert Salvino, Alexander Cohen, William Thomas, and Jason Walker. Several of the other authors’ names are known to me, and I look forward to reading their contributions.
Here is the Amazon link for more information about the book.
Great. This is the kind of evaluation of this extraordinary and complex individual needed.
