Explores how philosophers from Socrates to Sartre wrestle with the question of how we should live, including ancient philosophers who present their teachings as pathways to happiness, virtue, and peace of mind; medieval philosophers who seek to understand God’s will; and modern philosophers who grapple with the tension between community and freedom. Analyzes debates of fundamental moral and existential questions: What things really matter? Does it pay to be good? What constitutes the best society? Can we escape the roller coaster of our emotions? Examines how answers are intertwined with beliefs about God, nature, knowledge, the soul, and politics.

  • How can philosophy help us to have a better life? One philosophical reply to this question is to ask: what counts as a good life, to begin with? What kind of life ought we aspire to, and based on that, how can we work to achieve it? In this course, we will consider a range of philosophical approaches to these questions, drawing on sources both old and new, namely: classical Greek and Chinese philosophies as well as a selection of current-day philosophers.
