Mad Max and Philosophy

Description
How do Max's choices illuminate the meaning of life? Can Furiosa inspire feminist revolution? Does life need to be nasty, brutish, and short in the wasteland? What is the real cost of guzzoline? What is "good" when you're on the road or in the Thunderdome? Why is violence not the same as power for Lord Humungus and Immortan Joe? Don't be fooled by the crashing cars and beautifully choreographed violence-the Mad Max franchise is ultimately about human redemption. In fact, these apocalyptic, futuristic films can tell us a lot about ourselves today. From a work-a-day policeman with a family, to a lost soul who is more than once mistaken as a savior, Max rebuilt himself and the world around him. In Mad Max and Philosophy, philosophers, political scientists, historians, and writers all come together to think through the wasteland, covering all of George Miller's Mad Max films, including Mad Max: Fury Road. The chapters in this volume explore everything from ethics and politics in an apocalyptic world, to the importance of costumes and music, to nature, commerce, madness, and more. Mad Max fans are in for the intellectual ride of a lifetime.
