Beneath the stylized violence and thrilling car crashes, the Mad Max films consider universal questions about the nature of human life, order and anarchy, justice and moral responsibility, society and technology, and ultimately, human redemption. In Mad Max and Philosophy, a diverse team of political scientists, historians, and philosophers investigates the underlying themes of the blockbuster movie franchise, following Max as he attempts to rebuild himself and the world. This book guides you through the barren wastelands of a post-apocalyptic future as you explore ethics and politics in The Wasteland, the importance of costumes and music, humankind's relationship with nature, commerce, gender, religion, madness, and more. ● Covers all of George Miller's Mad Max films ● Discusses connections between Mad Max and major philosophers ● Follows Max's journey from policeman and family man to lost soul in search of redemption ● Examines the future of technology and possible impacts on society, the environment, and access to natural resources ● Delves into feminist themes and relationships between power and procreation
