RELG 052. The Good Life

What is a good life? What is the good life? This course applies multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural approaches to explore the answers to these questions. As part of the course, we will discuss the characteristics of a good life by analyzing how various people and religious cultures have defined “the good life,” and exploring how people have chosen to live as members of both local and global communities. Throughout the semester, we will examine the construction and cost of living a “good life” and the concepts and expressions of beauty, power, love, health, and justice.
