ABOUT THE GOOD PLACE
From creator Michael Schur (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Master of None”) comes a unique comedy about what makes a good person. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, “House of Lies,” “Veronica Mars”), an ordinary woman who enters the afterlife, and thanks to some kind of error, is sent to the Good Place instead of the Bad Place (which is definitely where she belongs). While hiding in plain sight from Good Place Architect Michael (Ted Danson - “Cheers,” “CSI” - in an Emmy Award-nominated performance), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and earn her spot.

I see Chidi's problem as an _epistemological_ one: he doesn't know _for sure_ what the right thing to do is -- he can't foresee all consequences of his actions -- and this lack of knowledge is what causes his moral paralysis.

So Kant is like, the unabridged version of "treat others as you want to be treated"? A phase I agree with, but which ironically leads people to feel cold and betrayed when others don't treat them with the same level of kindness and generosity that they treated others with..

@Strauss- Год назад

Kant is very adamant that he isn't - as an example, he gives a prisoner who ges justly punished. If he was to insist on the golden rule he could say to he judge: You would want to be left off the hook, had you commited the crime! and the judge would probably have to admit: yes, he would want to be treaed with undue lenience if he had commited the crime. So the CI is a bit more than the golden rule. With the CI, the judge would say: Sure, I would want to be treated as an exception if I was you, but I don't (Kant would gos o far as to say: can't!) want to live in a world where those are granted to everyone who wants them. At the same time, to take your example, you could also ask: Should everybody treat everybody with as much kindness as, say, their spouse? And they may come down on the side of: No! The unviersal law that would make sense is that of treating spouses better than strangers.

@Meloncov 5 лет назад

There are definitely similarities, but the categorical imperative solves some issues that the Golden Rule runs into with differences in taste/preference. "Do Unto Others" breaks down when what you want to be done unto you is very different from what someone else wants done to them (as the joke goes, nothing is worse than a masochist who obeys the golden rule). It also gives different results when it comes to things that don't cause direct harm, such as white lies, which would be ok under the Golden Rule but not under the categorical imperative.

@bbnn5621 5 лет назад

Daniel Sterman that's a basic answer to Kant. The response is that that's a non moral situation and the categorical imperative only works for moral situation. The response to that is that there's no such clear separation between moral and non moral, it's a false idealistic separation.

@telectronix1368 5 лет назад

@Daniel - you know that that really isn't an example of what Kant is saying.

@atrijitdas1704 5 лет назад

based on what this professor said, i think the way to approach this from Kant's pov would be: I want to apply for a job. Would I be okay with everyone applying for the job they want ? If yes, my decision to send the application is morally in the clear. Also, Kant asks to not care about what happens in the real world; so the server crashing problem isn't to be considered here maybe¿

@vonschlesien 5 лет назад

This is one of the subjectivity issues in Kantian thought - you have to describe your internal decision process in such a way that it can be made a "rule", and there are often many different rules that would lead you to the same action. "Everyone should wait in *this* line", "everyone should wait in the line closest to them when they walk in", and "everyone should wait in the line that's shortest" are all different rules to follow at the checkout counter, but multiple ones might lead to the same decision; and so it can be hard to figure out which rule to use to evaluate societywide effects. Similarly, should the rule be "everybody should apply for this job"? "Everybody should apply for a job in this particular field"? "Everybody should apply to the first 5 jobs that show up in a Google search"? And because humans are not actually rational creatures, who's to say what is the *actual* rule you followed while reaching your decision?

Ethics (moral philosophy) is just one branch of philosophy. Epistemology, Logic and Aesthetics are others. Physics was once a branch, but it now is it's own branch of science. Metaphysics is still practiced, but it is a very different thing from what that term conjures in the mind of most people.

Sooo at a choice/decision, the person who follows Deontology would basically ask... "Would I want to live in a world where ______ is common law or practice?" then act upon that decision based on personal reasoning?

@seanthebluesheep 5 лет назад

I think so. This is me pulling together threads of two different ideas I don't fully understand, but I think Kantian practical reasoning asks the question of actions "Is this a zero-sum game?" i.e. does someone have to lose in this situation for someone else to gain. If everybody is trying to win, against you and against everyone else that's not a world that you want to live in, therefore you shouldn't do it, which is sort of utilitarian but not quite.

@campkira 5 лет назад

A adult with some moral would easily make good decision.

@oremfrien 3 года назад

@Bailey Lee -- This is generally correct. The problem is (both in your example and in Kant's writings) the specificity and intentionality of the act to be common practice. For example, let's say, that your girl-friend asked you if the makeup she put on accents her eyes well. You believe that it does not, but tell her a white lie that it looks good to spare her feelings. Is the level of moral analysis: (1) General -- "Would I want to live in a world where lying is common law or practice?" -- Obviously not. Spreading untruths as a common principle would lead to a communications breakdown. (2) More Specific -- "Would I want to live in a world where white lying is common law or practice?" -- Maybe, so. It may be worth preserving people's happiness as opposed to revealing objective realities. (3) Intention 1 -- "Would I want to live in a world where lying is common law or practice?" -- Same as before; lying results in a communications breakdown. (4) Intention 2 -- "Would I want to live in a world where people respecting each others' feelings is common law or practice?" -- Yes. We have to interact with other people and helping them be happy is something we wish to preserve. So, while you have correctly summed up the categorical imperative, that is not the be-all and end-all of deontology.

@oremfrien 3 года назад

@@seanthebluesheep I would disagree completely. There is no "zero-sum" question in deontology. A rule either exists or does not exist based on intent, not result. Both sides could "lose" or both sides could "win". For example, Professor May talked about whether a car dealer should tell his customer (old man) that the breaks don't work on the car he is going to buy. We could have a scenario where the car dealer follows the categorical imperative of honesty and tells the old man. The old man receives this positively and knows that he will need to fix the breaks prior to buying and feels secure in buying a car with this salesman because he is honest (e.g. he wins). The car dealer reacts positively to his own honesty because it secured him a sale (e.g. he wins). And society overall has one fewer car with brake issues because the salesman's honesty has resulted in the old man getting the brakes repaired (e.g. it wins). However, we could have exactly the opposite result if the old man receives this negatively. In this scenario, the car dealer still follows the categorical imperative of honesty and tells the old man about the brakes. However, the old man wanted a perfect used car, so he refuses to buy the car that he now knows has a brake issue (e.g. he wins). But the salesman loses a sale that otherwise would have occurred (e.g. he loses). And society gains no benefit because the same number of brake-deficient cars exist. The change in results does not affect the categorical imperative of honesty. The question is not whether a good result comes from following the imperative in a specific circumstance or whether a zero-sum game exists, but from the value of the intention itself.

Counterpoint: I think motivations for an action can be numerous. You can get coffee for your boss both to do a nice thing but also to expect a kickback for a raise later. That's where Kants ideas break down. There's almost no situation where your motivation is purely one thing

@wierdalien1 5 лет назад

I forkin hate Kant.

@telectronix1368 5 лет назад

Kant isn't talking about the motivations (or the possible future/afterlife/whatever benefits). In your example the question would be "Do I want to live in a world where, when someone sees another person needing coffee, they give that person a coffee?" i.e. do I want to live in a world where people look out for and to try to help meet others' needs? So if you do want that sort of world or society.....you'd offer to get them coffee. It doesn't matter what all your possible reasons could be but about the end result around you.

It seems to me like we've just arrived at the same problem only now iinstead of "what would i do?" it's "what should we all do?"

@atrijitdas1704 5 лет назад

@Mitchell Stacy and I guess this subjective nature to Kant's approach is what makes Chidi (a Kantian) so indecisive then hahah nice

@vonschlesien 5 лет назад

There's another subjectivity issue, which is where "intention" comes in. For the cheating example - someone could also phrase it as "would I want to live in a world where all the people who are too busy with sports/art/$YOUR_FAVORITE_HOBBY cheat off of everyone else?" And that's a different universal rule than "would I want to live in a world where *all people* cheat". So there's a real question when using this method of "what rule am I actually following in making this decision".

@eduardoarmenta9232 5 лет назад

Two questions: Does subconscious actions have morality? Cause many bad deeds often come from momentarily lacks of judgment. And... Does searching for recognition matters when the end result remains the same? Because a world where everyone wants recognition for their actions doesn't seem that different from one where everyone's accomplishments remain anonymous.

@uneek35 5 лет назад

That would require believing in subconcious thought, which is a whole different philosophical debate.

@HeavyMetalMouse 3 года назад

One possible deficiency in the Kantian method is touched on here, but definitely needs more depth - it isn't just your intention that changes with how you describe the action, but the *action itself* that can change with how it is described. Take the example of Chidi choosing a muffin: Blueberry or Raisin? Does Chidi have to consider "What if everyone picked the Blueberry over the Raisin?", or is it more appropriate to consider "What if everyone picked a muffin over a danish?", or even "What if everyone wanted convenient pastry for breakfast?"? What is the actual action that Chidi is considering doing that he has to weigh the categorical imperative of? Or is it all of them? Where is the boundary of any given action - what are you actually doing? Depending on what the actual scope of the action is, you get different answers. How specific do you have to be in your categorical imperative? For the salesman and the faulty brakes, are we questioning whether we want to live in a world where salesmen ought to tell buyers about faulty breaks before they buy, or are we questioning whether we want to live in a world where salesman ought to sell cars with faulty brakes at all? Or even questioning whether people ought to sell cars, given their environmental impact, regardless of the status of their brakes? It seems absurd: there is no good answer to where to draw the line. Too specific, and it becomes absurd to even imagine 'everyone' doing the thing (everyone choosing the blueberry muffin). Too general, and it becomes absurd again (everyone choosing to sell cars). But there is no obvious place where that absurdity must stop.

No. You are correct. The first question is more Kantian than the second one in that it seeks to determine the value of a standard of behavior for all people.

If everyone cheats on a test then there is a problem with the design of the test. Is the goal of the test yo meet a certain threshold of knowledge or confidence, or is the gosl to get the best score? In the latter case then cheating may neutralize the effects, or the test may be unnecessary. Economist Bryan Csplan argues in 'The Case Against Education', that most upper level education is driven by virtue signaling, instead of building human capital. This mrans that while individuals get value from education, on the whole education takes resources from the economy and delays the ability of individuals to earn, hurting lower income individuals in society.

@jpickens189 Год назад

The cheating is a weird example because it assumes that they are cheating off each others papers instead of the test rubric. If everyone cheated off the test rubric then memorization exams would stop working and people would be forced to find a way of testing people that isn't entirely contingent on access to information, which seems like a good thing.

Wait, so the last one when you bring a coffee to your boss because you think it is the "Right" thing.

And I would rather they keep the quality of the writing. I hope the show finishes too soon rather than drag the series out and wring every single last line out of it. Course that's just my opinion. It's my impression of U.S. television they take a really great idea and instead of making it really special they kill it by overdoing it. Take a look at the british series Fawlty towers and see what I mean. Totally hysterical. But if it went on for too long it would have killed the concept.

Grunthos The Flatulent yes i agree! I was very worried about that after ep six that they would run out of story but they keep going so i guess anything at this point is gravy for me

PS: I also can't agree with Kant because I don't believe in universal ethics. I know that makes me a moral relativist, but seriously, read the "Bhagavad Gita": God Himself advises Arjuna to do his duty as a Ksatriya and kill his cousins, even though, under normal circumstances, Arjuna would go to the Narakas for a stunt like that.

I just follow what the Bible teaches, it is my standard for morality.

@PyroBlossomTech 5 лет назад

Kristina good for you! Everyone has their own standards for morality, what’s important is to use that to help people, I think.

That sucks for your firsr born, then. And where do you source your only-1-material clothes? And do you follow the "love and forgive" part or the "smite them for their actions" part?
