"God and the Good Life" with Paul Blaschko
Philosophy
Philosophy
In God and the Good Life, an incredibly popular introductory philosophy course, students explore the big questions about how to live a meaningful life — what justifies your beliefs, whether you should practice a religion, what sacrifices you should make for others, and more. They learn what the greats like Plato, Aristotle, and Descartes have to say on issues like these, and then develop their own vision for what a good life should be. In this session, attendees will learn why philosophers have long thought that achieving happiness is the ultimate goal of a well-lived life and will consider how our contemporary conception of happiness compares to that of the Ancient Greeks.
Alumni, friends, prospective students and their parents, and anyone else on campus are welcome to come participate in these explorations of fascinating topics.
