Course Description

Summary

This class examines a variety of answers to the ancient question: How do I live a good life? We’ll engage with thinkers from diverse traditions across time and space as we clarify our own understanding of what makes life worth living and as we articulate a more developed conception of the good life. Readings will include texts from Greek and Roman antiquity, selections from Confucian, Daoist, Indian and Tibetan Buddhist, and African Ubuntu thought traditions, works in Anglo-American and European philosophy, and contemporary essays reflecting on the good life.
