Description
The Good Place and Philosophy: Everything is Forking Fine! Explore the moral philosophy at the heart of the hit TV series, guided by expert academics and featuring a foreword from the show's creator. This book delves into the show's thoughtful and ambitious exploration of ethics, questioning what it means to be a good person. Contributions from the show's philosophical consultants and introduced by the show's creator, this book engages with classic philosophical questions and themes. From utilitarianism and deontological ethics to Sartre's nihilism and T.M Scanlon's contractualism, this book examines the show's exploration of death, love, moral heroism, free will, responsibility, artificial intelligence, fatalism, skepticism, and virtue ethics. Led by Kimberly S. Engels, this book is a thought-provoking exploration of the philosophical concepts at the heart of The Good Place.
