The D'oh! of Homer

Of course there had to be a book on philosophy and the Simpsons. I read a book on Winnie the Pooh and the Tao a few years ago.

The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer

No doubt Aristotle just rolled over in his grave. An essay called "Homer and Aristotle" would appear to be a treatise on two ancient Greek thinkers; in this case, it's a depiction of Homer Simpson's Aristotelian virtues.

But there seems to be a whole market for books linking to the Simpsons:

The Gospel According to the Simpsons: Leaders Guide for Group Study

From a customer review:

People are really amazed that a "wicked, evil" cartoon can be so enlightening! I would recommend this for any church considering it.

The Simpsons And Society: An Analysis Of Our Favorite Family And Its Influence In Contemporary Society

From a review:

In short, it's about as smart as Ralph Wiggum. However, while Ralphie is amusing, this book isn't.
