Centred on the lives of the employees at a Manhattan advertising
firm, the television series Mad Men touches on the advertising
world's unique interests in consumerist culture, materialistic
desire, and the role of deception in Western capitalism. While this
essay collection has a decidedly socio-historical focus, the
authors use this as the starting point for philosophical,
religious, and theological reflection, showing how Mad Men reveals
deep truths concerning the social trends of the 1960s and deserves
a significant amount of scholarly consideration. Going beyond mere
reflection, the authors make deeper inquiries into what these
trends say about American cultural habits, the business world
within Western capitalism, and the rapid social changes that
occurred during this period. From the staid and conventional early
seasons to the war, assassinations, riots, and counterculture of
later seasons, The Universe is Indifferent shows how social change
underpins the interpersonal dramas of the characters in Mad Men.
This collection introduces readers to the philosophical
interpretation of Scripture, specifically within American
Philosophy. The purpose of the collection concerns starting a
conversation about the practice and task of the philosophical
interpretation of Scripture. Reflections on the philosophical
interpretation of Scripture have been treated more as a
"conversation-stopper" than a conversation-starter within the
American academy. To start such a conversation, this collection
offers substantive accounts of the role of Scripture in the
philosophical thought of fifteen American philosophers: Jane
Addams, Henry Bugbee, Stanley Cavell, John Dewey, Jonathan Edwards,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, William James, Martin Luther
King, Jr., Charles Sanders Peirce, Josiah Royce, Richard Rorty,
George Santayana, Henry David Thoreau, and Cornel West.
