When someone reaches the end of their life, how do they know they have lived it well? What does it mean to live a 'good life'? This class invites students to become philosophers who take on the challenge of Socrates to live an examined life, which means to be self-aware and intentional in our thoughts and actions. 

Students will be introduced to some of the great philosophers, their worldviews, and their concepts of the 'good life'. Additionally, since we do not live life alone, we will explore some of the more influential systems of ethics that teach us how to live in community. The goal is to provide a guide for students as they begin to make important decisions about their futures by equipping them with the intellectual and emotional tools that will help them recognize what it is that they find meaningful, valuable, and ethical as they mature into emerging adults This course is for currently enrolled TMI students only.  Register here.
