Philosophy Capstone: Revisiting the Good Life.

Catalog description

In this course philosophy majors in their final year at Wheaton revisit questions concerning the good life that they initially encountered in their First Year Seminar, informed now by their studies in the liberal arts, and especially by their training as philosophers. Questions concerning human well-being or the highest human good have been perennial philosophical concerns, and students in this course will interact with voices in the historical and contemporary debates among philosophers on these issues. The goal will be to better understand the way their training in philosophy bears upon their spiritual growth and development, as well as their vocations as scholars, workers, and Christians. Prerequisite: PHIL 311 / PHIL 312 , must be in last year at Wheaton.
