acting and music. \u003cbr\u003eThe audience laughs and cries amidst the dazzling lights and melodies, but hidden beneath those emotions are philosophical questions about social conflict and the nature of humanity.\u003cbr\u003e Justice and salvation in Les Misérables, identity and freedom in Hedwig, media power in Chicago, equality and solidarity in Hairspray.\u003cbr\u003e All these works

a mirror of social conflict and a stage for diversity and coexistence.\u003cbr\u003e On a stage where jazz, rock, opera, and hip-hop blend together, different voices transform into a single chorus.\u003cbr\u003e The chorus is a confession of the oppressed and a universal resonance that all humans can empathize with.\u003cbr\u003e On stage, people transcend differences and connect, loneliness becomes a chorus, and individual cries become a communal song.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a journey of philosophical thought that examines the concerns of our time through musicals, and is a humanistic stage that records the encounter between art and philosophy in our time.\u003cbr\u003e As a new liberal arts book that connects philosophy, art, and society, it provides
