PHI 260 - An Inquiry into Cross Cultural Guides for Living


This course will examine a selection of culturally and historically diverse manuals written as guides for achieving “the good life.” Our goal will be to examine and critique these foundational works about human nature and the achievement of happiness so as to reflect upon the universal elements that link them to together and render them meaningful to citizens of the 21st century. As part of the process we will explore contemporary examples and also examine the postmodern skepticism concerning the very concept of “guides for living.” Recommended: either PHI 124 , PHI 154 , PHI 160  or department approval.

1 semester 3 credits.
