{"product_id":"the-simpsons-and-philosophy-william-irwin-9780812694338","title":"The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'Oh! of Homer","description":"This unconventional and lighthearted introduction to the ideas of the major Western philosophers examines The Simpsons -- TV's favorite animated family. The authors look beyond the jokes, the crudeness, the attacks on society -- and see a clever display of irony, social criticism, and philosophical thought. The writers begin with an examination of the characters. Does Homer actually display Aristotle's virtues of character? In what way does Bart exemplify American pragmatism? The book also examines the ethics and themes of the show, and concludes with discussions of how the series reflects the work of Aristotle, Marx, Camus, Sartre, and other thinkers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Irwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812694333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812694338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.12w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/12\/2001 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2001 pg. 1524\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2001 pg. 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/21\/2001 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/07\/2003 pg. 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/11\/2001","brand":"William Irwin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043309744383,"sku":"9780812694338","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a87430a0-7637-41ec-9eb4-b24263da7bc4.jpg?v=1684966422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-simpsons-and-philosophy-william-irwin-9780812694338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
