REL 295-01 - Special Topic: Life Worth Living

4 credits (Spring)

What does it mean for a life to go well? What would it look like for a life to be lived well? What shapes could a life worth living take? These questions have been central to human existence for millennia. What can we learn about ourselves from these efforts? Life Worth Living explores these questions through engagement with the heritage of diverse religious traditions from ancient Mesopotamia, India, China, the Middle East, and the US.
