PHI 350 - Seminar in Philosophy

Instructor
McKeever

Most of us hope our own lives go well.  We also hope that the lives of our friends and loved ones go well.  In this seminar we will explore a range of views concerning what makes a life good for the person whose life it is together with arguments on their behalf.  Topics to be considered include pleasure and pain, happiness, the satisfaction of goals and desires, and question whether a good life should be meaningful (in some sense).  Readings will be drawn primarily from contemporary sources. 

Satisfies the seminar requirement for the Philosophy major.

Prerequisites & Notes
This course can be repeated for credit given sufficiently distinct topics: check with the department chair. (Fall, Spring)
