Introduction: Meditations on Springfield? The Characters Simpsonian Themes I Didn't Do It: Ethics and The Simpsons The Simpsons and the Philosophers 1 -- Part I 5 -- Part II 79 -- Part III 145 -- Part IV 233.
A group of philosophers examines "The Simpsons" --beyond the jokes, the crudeness, and the attacks on society--as a clever display of irony, social criticism, and philosophical thought. They begin with an examination of the Simpson family, examine the ethics and themes of the show, and conclude with discussions of how the series reflects the work of Aristotle, Marx, Sartre, and other thinkers.
