"Since ancient times myths and stories have been used to convey our deepest thoughts about how to live together in community. With this book we now have a fun and engaging way to learn and think about political theory through the myths and stories of our time, popular culture."― William Irwin, author of Black Sabbath and Philosophy: Mastering Reality"
"Foy and Dale have done it again, this time with political theory! Political theory is one of the most difficult subjects that political science undergraduates encounter and Homer Simpson Ponders Politics opens up an avenue for students to engage many of the broad theories through some of the cultural artifacts with which they are most familiar: popular culture. These important theories bubble up through all areas of popular culture from Machiavelli and The Godfather to Plato and Star Wars― there is much to learn from this compendium. This is a useful book for students of political theory of any age or training and for those who are intrigued by the many political concepts popular culture teaches us." ―Lilly J. Goren, coeditor of Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics"
"Most essays in this collection employ their "philosophical guides" in ways that can...disabuse undergraduates of the notion that political theory can better address the sterile and obsolete concerns of forgotten eras than fundamental questions about contemporary political life."―Choice
