What Is the Good Life?

GOVT 398
Fall 2015
Section: 01  
Certificates: Civic Engagement, International Relations, Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory

Work, political participation, friendship, art, and justice: These are the components that political philosophers have long thought to be components of a life well lived. How do these practices shape our identity and relationships with others? How do they contribute to a thriving society? How have theorists changed our understandings of these core concepts over time? What happens when they come into conflict? This course will use these five categories to understand what the "good life" means from ancient, modern, and postmodern perspectives.
