DIVE INTO THE MORAL PHILOSOPHY AT THE HEART OF ALL FOUR SEASONS OF
NBC’S _THE GOOD PLACE_, GUIDED BY ACADEMIC EXPERTS INCLUDING THE
SHOW’S PHILOSOPHICAL CONSULTANTS PAMELA HIERONYMI AND TODD MAY, AND
FEATURING A FOREWORD FROM CREATOR AND SHOWRUNNER MICHAEL SCHUR
* Explicitly dedicated to the philosophical concepts, questions, and
fundamental ethical dilemmas at the heart of the thoughtful and
ambitious NBC sitcom _The Good Place_
* Navigates the murky waters of moral philosophy in more conceptual
depth to call into question what Chidi’s ethics lessons--and the
show--get right about learning to be a good person
* Features contributions from _The Good Place_’s philosophical
consultants, Pamela Hieronymi and Todd May, and introduced by the
show’s creator and showrunner Michael Schur (_Parks and Recreation_,
_The Office_)
* Engages classic philosophical questions, including the clash
between utilitarianism and deontological ethics in the “Trolley
Problem,” Kant’s categorical imperative, Sartre’s nihilism, and
T.M Scanlon's contractualism
* Explores themes such as death, love, moral heroism, free will,
responsibility, artificial intelligence, fatalism, skepticism, virtue
ethics, perception, and the nature of autonomy in the surreal
heaven-like afterlife of the Good Place
* Led by Kimberly S. Engels, co-editor of _Westworld and Philosophy
