This was so much fun! A must read for anyone who loved the show of inspiration for more than its sense of humor and great character work.
Perhaps a bit repetitive at times since several chapters reflect on the same material of a specific episode, but this is done from different angles so it did not bother me too much. I am more acquinted with legal philosophy than moral philosophy, but this book covered all the different theories and their greatest proponents/creators in such an approachable way. And it was just great to have another source through which to sit with the show's main characters for a bit, and to think some more about the implications of their actions, as well as of aspects and underlying choices made by the show.
I love the show and this book brought me so much joy on my daily commute. Highly recommended for the fans, even though everyone hates moral philosophy professors.
