Book Description
Family Guy and Philosophy brings together low-brow, potty-mouthed, cartoon humor and high-brow philosophical reflection to deliver an outrageously smart and entertaining exploration of one of TV's most unrelenting families. Ok, it's not that high-brow, but this stupefying book tackles the perennial positions of the show and contemplates a little philosophy to boot!Is Family Guy really a vehicle for conservative politics? What's so funny about dysfunctional families? Should we all be offended by the show? This book gathers original essays from premier philosophers to get behind the punch lines and find out what we're really laughing at. Diving into the philosophy of the cast, this book asks the important questions, such as: What the hell is wrong with Stewie? Who is more human, Peter or Brian? Is Lois a feminist? Is there anything virtuous about Quagmire?Family Guy and Philosophy takes an introspective look at what this show can teach us about ethics, ego, religion, death, and of course, time-travel. Sharp, witty, and absurd, this book is a must read for every Family Guy fan, and anyone looking to find out what all the hype is about.
