  • Fall 2020 FYS:Phil Way of Life (PHIL-1101-01)

    While today philosophy is an academic discipline like chemistry or art history, philosophy in the ancient world was, first and foremost, a way of living. In this course, we will look at some philosophical traditions, including Eastern and Western, ancient and modern. But we won’t just talk about them -- we’ll live them out. We’ll try out some of their practices as a way of trying to get a feel for what it might be like to live as, say, a Confucian, an Existentialist, or a Stoic. The most important goal of the course is to try out the idea that living a reflective, intentional (philosophical) life is something to be pursued for its own sake.
