Class description
The core concept we'll cover is: What Is The Meaning Of Life? In other words: What aspects make one life a more worthwhile, well-lived, meaningful life than another? And conversely: what aspects would tend to make a life more likely to be a meaningless, pointless, waste of a life? We'll consider various traditional Western philosophical perspectives, and a few eastern religious perspectives.
