The Office and Philosophy: Scenes from the Unexamined Life

Species of Moral Failure

"The reason people fail to do what’s right is just that they do not know what’s right. Once you know what the right thing to do is, you can’t help but do it. Other philosophers have taken darker views of human motivation, recognizing that some people are just downright malicious. No amount of moral education will ever enable such people to do the right thing. There are a couple prime candidates for this king of moral failure in The Office: Creed and Andy."
