Religion and Philosophy: A Life Well-Lived

What does it mean to live well—to live a good or meaningful life? Are the answers to this question timeless, or are they determined by our social location (like our race/ethnicity, class, gender, etc.)? This course introduces students to resources and concepts from the Western philosophical and Christian theological traditions related to this overarching question. Students will critically and charitably engage these traditions, determining what resources they might offer and what considerations they might neglect.
