Instructor Dr. John Donaldson described Homer as a "complex character" yet likeable. "He's very gluttonous, he can be quite violent and self-interested. But at the same time, he's open to doing the right thing and he's a faithful family man," he added.

The course called "D'oh! The Simpsons Introduce Philosophy" targets individuals who want to know more about philosophy. Dr. Donaldson, being a fan of the show, believes that viewers can get many moral realizations from it. "I like Simpsons because it's a great work of art. It's a cartoon of a great tapestry. There's so much going on in it," he stated.

Some of Homer's popular doctrines include "Marriage is like a coffin and each kid is another nail," "Beer, now there's a temporary solution," and "When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!"

The cartoon created by Matt Groening first appeared on television in 1989 and is now the longest-running sitcom and animated program in the United States. Groening was a philosophy student, and this reflects in every episode. Recently, the show made noise online as fans recalled how it predicted several occasions including Donald Trump's victory in the presidential race.

The Homer Simpson-inspired Philosophy course in Glasgow University will run from Jan. 14 and 21 next year. Slots for the first date are already sold out. The course takes popular themes from philosophy and applies them to different episodes and characters in the Simpsons.
