Western Philosophy & American Comedy

What does it mean to live a good life? How do we know whether our actions are right or wrong? These questions have shaped the tradition of Western Philosophy and continue to be important to this day. Yet studying philosophy doesn’t have to be frightening or stressful!

At “Western Philosophy & American Comedy”, we are watching the comedy series “The Good Place”. This critically acclaimed show explores philosophy and ethics through the lens of comedy. Each Tuesday, we will watch one episode and discuss a theme of moral philosophy. Anyone is welcome! The show is in English yet Japanese notes will be provided. See you there!
