About this listen
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.
- 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.

Tough read but worth it

if you have done any study it may be too light but the relating it back to the site means you can relate to the content and its not dry and is less abstract.
I would suggest its better to read this after watching "The Good Place" as there are many spoilers.
My only slight criticism is that it used some dialog multiple times for different points in the text and I occasionally thought I had accidentally gone back a couple of chapters till I realised what was happening.
The audio book is still well worth it.
Fantastic introduction to Ethics
