The Good Life: Theology, Philosophy and Human Flourishing

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: RT2329

This course examines the relationship between Christian theology and philosophy by focussing on the question of the good life. What is the good life, for humans as well as other creatures? How does Christian belief and practice impact an understanding of the good life? The course will consider the idea of the good life from historical and contemporary perspectives, with emphasis on the intersection of faith and reason. In particular, it will train students to navigate interdisciplinary questions as the course moves between general themes – happiness, the good, flourishing – and texts addressing specific traditions of formation rooted in religious ways of life.
