Get smarter with the world's most famous television family

Summary:
"Anyone who wants to remember why this series is one of the brightest contributions to the not-so-rich world culture of the past decades should read 'The Simpsons and Philosophy.'"
Daniel Kehlmann, Cicero

For over twenty years, "The Simpsons" has been regarded as the best and most popular television series in the world. The success shows that the Simpsons are more than just any family. At Marge's kitchen table and in the streets of Springfield, the fundamental questions of humanity come to light. In eleven brilliant and humorous essays, eleven philosophers reflect on "The Simpsons" and philosophy.
