Homer at the APA

The Philadephia Inquirer has an article up about the recent American Philosophical Association meeting.

The article has a quote from a friend of mine who works at Open Court Publishing:

"Our all-time best seller," confided David Ramsay Steele, the house's top editor, "is The Simpsons and Philosophy- more than 500,000 copies sold."

Doh. 

I was hopping it was Harry Potter and Philosophy, since another friend of mine, Shawn Klein, edited that one.

There was a theory that Greek Philosophy began with Homer...

The Greeks heaped all their glories
on Homer who wrote the stories.

But we Americans go nuts
for Homer who loves the donuts.
