Family Guy and Philosophy brings together low-brow,
potty-mouthed, cartoon humor and high-brow philosophical reflection
to deliver an outrageously hilarious and clever exploration of one
of TV’s most unrelenting families. Ok, it’s not that
high-brow.
- A sharp, witty and absurd exploration of one of
television’s most unrelenting families, the stars of one of
the biggest-selling TV series ever on DVD, now in its fourth
season
- Tackles the perennial positions of Family Guy at the
same time as contemplating poignant philosophical issues
- Takes an introspective look at what this show can teach us
about ethics, ego, religion, death, and of course,
time-travel
- Considers whether Family Guy is really a vehicle for conservative politics, and whether we should be offended by the show, as well as diving into the philosophy of the cast
