Catholic Intellectual Heritage and the Good Life

Catalog description

In both East and West, centuries of the Catholic Intellectual Heritage have contributed to a deepening understanding of what it might mean to live a flourishing, meaningful, and fruitful human life. This course explores central components of such an existence, considering such themes as moral and intellectual virtue, prayer and contemplation, friendship and communion, vocation and service of the common good. Special attention will be given to characteristic contributions from the Ignatian tradition such as “finding God in all things” and discernment.
