Ethics After the Apocalypse – The Last of Us Parts 1 and 2

Ethics and Chill - A podcast by Ethical Society of St. Louis

Post-apocalyptic fiction puts humanity in impossible situations in order to explore how we react: when civilization breaks down, what’s left of us? The Last of Us parts 1 and 2 explore this question more thoroughly than any other videogame, and in this episode James explores the moral themes and ethical lessons of both games. There are major spoilers for both titles, and since both games are very violent, this episode is not one for the kids.
