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 _
