PHIL2030: Quest for the Good Life

Class Program
Credits 3

In Quest for the Good Life, you’ll have the opportunity to wrestle with the big questions about how to live and what makes your life meaningful. The course tackles such issues as personal identity (who am I?), what habits and patterns of behavior cultivate a good life, what moral obligations do I have, and how can I live a purposeful and meaningful life? We’ll learn what some of the great philosophical traditions have to say about the good life as well as explore modern issues like the marriage decision, friendships and faith.  We’ll talk in small discussion groups and have large raucous debates about how to live a good life.
