The Simpsons and Philosophy, edited by William Irwin along with Mark T. Conard and Aeon J. Skoble, is a fun yet rigorous introduction to the thought of philosophers such as Aristotle, Kant, Heidegger, and Sartre, using the world of The Simpsons as a starting point. Would Nietzsche justify Bart's pranks? Should we dislike Lisa because she is a Socratic? Can one be virtuous and offer one's own family to aliens to save one's own skin, like Homer? An agile journey through Western philosophy via the great cultural artifact that is the animated series.

William Irwin is a philosopher and editor of the renowned "Philosophy and Pop Culture" series of essays, which analyzes mass culture phenomena from a rigorous philosophical perspective.
