PHI 195-01 - Introductory Special Topic: Philosophy for Life

4 credits (Fall Term 1 and Spring Term 2)
The central question will be “what is the good life?” This is a basic issue for any philosophical tradition and every vision of humanity. Students will begin to search for their own answers by engaging with a range of humanistic responses to questions such as: How ought I live? What am I looking for? What is a good community? What is justice? What is the human being? What are the relations between e.g. beauty, wisdom, love, nature, and power?

Prerequisite: None.
Instructor: J. Dobe
