Mad Men and Philosophy


Mad Men and Philosophy: Nothing Is as It Seems (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series)
While we're waiting for The Fashion File: Advice, Tips, and Inspiration from the Costume Designer of Mad Men to be released, we were looking for something deeper (but still Mad Men related) that might tide us over. Lucky for us Mad Men and Philosophy: Nothing Is as It Seems has already been released. The book features Upcycle Consumer Philosophy Hall of Famers Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and Ayn Rand, among others, as they bring an accessible but still enlightening approach to philosophy by drawing comparisons and lessons from our favorite TV show.
