I Simpson e la filosofia

€19,00

How to understand the world thanks to Homer, Nietzsche and friends.

Synopsis

Would Nietzsche look favorably on Bart's rascality?
Is Lisa an insufferable Socratic?
Is Homer a good person, even though he offered his family to aliens to save his own skin?
Does Marge seem so reassuring because she is, in fact, a macho housewife?
Can we learn something about happiness from the miseries of Mr. Burns?

This book is not just a philosophical analysis of the last great cultural artifact of our era: The Simpsons, the TV series that for over thirty years has recounted the glories and baseness of a yellow family that is very much like us. It is rather an introduction, both entertaining and rigorous, to the work of thinkers such as Aristotle, Kant, Heidegger, Sartre and many others. Legend has it that nothing happens anymore that hasn't already happened in an episode of The Simpsons. If that's true, while we learn more about them we can also learn more about our own world.
