Philosophers wittily and expertly uncover amazing philosophical
insights from the endlessly fascinating TV show, It’s Always Sunny
in Philadelphia. Littmann shows how the values of the gang are the
same as those of Homeric heroes. Ketcham argues that the Church should
make Charlie a saint, partly because It’s Always Sunny is all
about free will.” Hamer shows how closely the gang’s activities
comply with the scientific method. Alkema and Barkman analyze the way
the gang perceives happiness and how they try to get it. Leonard
proves beyond doubt that the game of Chardee MacDennis reveals
everyone's unconscious desires. King examines the morality of the
gang’s behavior by the standard of how they respond to extreme
suffering. Chambers agrees that each of the five central characters is
a terrible person, but argues that, given their circumstances, they
are not truly to blame for their actions. Tanswell demonstrates that
many of the gang’s wrong actions result not from immoral motives but
from illogical thinking. Aylesworth uses examples from It’s Always
Sunny to bring out some of the moral problems with real consent to
sex. Jones reveals that Nietzsche foresaw everything the gang at
Paddy's Pub would do.
