South Park and Philosophy

You Know, I Learned Something Today

William Irwin (Series Editor), Robert Arp (Editor)

What does philosophy have to do with flatulence?

Should Big Gay Al be allowed to marry Mr. Slave?

Does South Park’s blasphemous humor go too far?

If it’s OK to ridicule Islam, is it OK to skewer Scientology?

If you think Saddam and Satan make a kinky couple, wait till you get a load of South Park and Philosophy.  Get your Big Wheels ready, because we’re going for a ride as 22 philosophers take us down the road to understanding the big-picture issues in this small mountain town. Addressing the perennial questions of the show, and looking at the contemporary social and political issues that inspire each episode, this book unravels everything that might be wrong and could be right about South Park. South Park and Philosophy is a smart and candid look at one of television’s most subversive and controversial shows.
