PHL 321 CRAFTING A MEANINGFUL LIFE
Everyone wants to live a meaningful life. However, not everyone knows how to go about doing so. During this hands-on workshop, students will learn to apply an assortment of philosophical skills that will empower them to develop their own approaches to life's most basic questions: What counts as a meaningful existence? Is self-satisfaction and authenticity sufficient or are there objective criteria for making such judgments? How does meaningfulness relate to living a good or a happy life? Drawing on the wisdom offered by a variety of philosophical and religious traditions, students will enhance their self-understanding and develop a clear and satisfying personal vision for how to create and sustain meaning in their everyday practices.
