Description

This title presents a look at the philosophical underpinnings of the hit TV show, "Mad Men" - just in time for the fourth season "Mad Men" may be stylish, sexy, and utterly absorbing in its portrayal of the changing social and political mores of 1960s America, but understanding the philosophy behind this show is even more fascinating. Who is the real Don Draper? Is Roger Sterling an existential void? If Peggy forgets about her baby, does that mean the pregnancy never happened? What are the ethics of advertising? "Mad Men and Philosophy" answers these questions and many others. It takes an unprecedented look at the philosophical issues and themes behind AMC's Emmy Award-winning show, "Mad Men". It explores issues ranging from identity to authenticity to feminism, and more. It offers new insights on your favorite "Mad Men" characters, themes, and storylines. "Mad Men and Philosophy" will give "Mad Men" fans everywhere something new to talk about around the water cooler.
