Family Guy and Philosophy

A Cure for the Petarded

William Irwin (Series Editor), J. Jeremy Wisnewski (Editor)

What’s so funny about dysfunctional families?

Should we all be offended by the show?

Who is more human, Peter or Brian?

Is Lois a feminist?

Is there anything virtuous about Quagmire?

That’s right. We’ve done it. We’ve brought together lowbrow, potty-mouthed cartoon humor and highbrow philosophical reflection. Ok, it’s not that highbrow, but the results are outrageously delicious. Family Guy and Philosophy takes an introspective look at what this show can teach us about the ego, ethics, religion, death, and of course, time travel, and delivers a merciless exploration of one of TV’s most unrelenting families.
