With its swirling cigarette smoke, martini lunches, skinny ties, and
tight pencil skirts, Mad Men is unquestionably one of the most stylish,
sexy, and irresistible shows on television. But the series becomes even
more absorbing once you dig deeper into its portrayal of the changing
social and political mores of 1960s America and explore the philosophical
complexities of its key characters and themes. From Socrates, Plato, and
Aristotle to John Kenneth Galbraith, Milton Friedman, and Ayn Rand, Mad
Men and Philosophy brings the thinking of some of history's most powerful
minds to bear on the world of Don Draper and the Sterling Cooper ad
agency. You'll gain insights into a host of compelling Mad Men questions
and issues, including happiness, freedom, authenticity, feminism, Don
Draper's identity, and more.and have lots to talk about the next time
you find yourself around the water cooler.
