PH108 Good People, Bad Actors, and the Quest to Live Well

4 credit(s)
This course is part of the First Year Experience at Saint Mary’s University.  Integral to our First Year Experience are the themes place, purpose, and well-being.  This course will put sharp focus on the topics of purpose and well-being.  In particular, how does having purpose in a human life provide the foundation for healthy world views, healthy relationships, and healthy communities?  Can purpose lead us astray?  Don’t war criminals have purpose?  Through a range of multi-media resources (including written texts, film, and podcasts), we will look at the philosophical questions of how people in the past as well as in our contemporary world have constructed or found meaning and purpose in their lives and in their commitments.
