Course description
Does life have a purpose? What does it mean to say that a life has been lived well or poorly? Those of us who are troubled by such questions see them as critical to the practical decisions we must make about how to live. What counts as meaningful work? How are love and friendship related to a well-lived life? What does it mean to live authentically? Is the existence of God necessary for life to have meaning? This course will use philosophy, fiction, and film to explore larger questions around the meaning and purpose of life, with special attention to their relationship to digital technology, politics and medicine.
