Have you ever watched The Simpsons? Did you realize that it was making you smarter? You may have noticed that the show has been jam packed with not only pop culture references, but has taken a very real and sometimes…too real… look into the reflection of American society. Basically, the show has a LOT more than it would appear.
Well, now you can take that journey into the deeper meaning for yourself with a college course!
The University of Glasgow is offering a course on the philosophy of Homer Simpson. The Daily Record claims the course costs $45.
The course description reads … “The Simpsons is one of the modern world’s greatest cultural artefacts, partly because it is so full of philosophy. Aristotle, Kant, Marx, Camus, and many other great thinkers’ ideas are represented in what is arguably the purest of philosophical forms – the comic cartoon. This day-school will explore philosophy’s most inspiring ideas as presented in Matt Groening’s monument to the absurdities of human existence. Come along for a day of learning and explore some of philosophy’s most inspiring ideas as presented in The Simpsons.”
