Friday Reads:  Philosophy and The Good Place

You’ve probably seen the incredible viral tweet from a shopper in Blackwell’s Oxford Bookstore who spotted a genius display:  all the titles mentioned, referenced, or read by Chidi Anagonye, everyone’s favorite indecisive moral philosophy professor on The Good Place.

And all those literary references certainly have people clamoring to learn more.  Why not read the very books Chidi uses to teach moral philosophy, or as Eleanor puts it, how to be a good person.

The Republic by Plato

The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu

A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume

The Nichomachean Ethics by Aristotle

Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard

Utilitarianism and Other Essays by John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham

No Exit and Three Other Plays by Jean-Paul Sartre

Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding by John Locke
