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 of the book are mostly professional philosophers, and they are appropriately erudite. But what is truly astonishing, even for a confessed Simpsons addict, is their breadth of Simpsons knowledge, spanning all 12 seasons of the show's history. The Simpsons and Philosophy is obviously not intended to be a turning point in modern thought, but it is an excellent introduction to some core elements of philosophy.William Irwin, "The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer"</blockquote>
