"The Meaning of Good—A Dialogue" by G. Lowes Dickinson is a philosophical discussion set in the late 1800s that asks what it really means to be "Good," using a group of friends debating different ideas about what's right and wrong. The story starts with friends meeting in Switzerland to talk about Good, inspired by one friend, Philip Audubon, who is sad and unsure if Good even exists after what he's been through, making everyone think about their own beliefs. The friends then argue over if Good is something we choose for ourselves or if it's something everyone agrees on together, using clever talk and deep thoughts to share their doubts and beliefs about what Good really is, getting ready for an even deeper look as the book goes on.
