‘The D’oh! of Homer’? An Animated Discussion
It won’t be taught by the Simpsons’ evangelical neighbor, Ned Flanders, but a philosophy class being added to Siena Heights University’s curriculum will be based on the popular animated TV series.
This winter, the university in Adrian is offering a two-credit class on how religion and philosophy are part of popular culture, including “The Simpsons.”
Readings will include “The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D’oh! of Homer” by William Irwin and “The Gospel According to The Simpsons: The Spiritual Life of the Most Animated Family.”
