Description
“At once revolutionary and conservative . . . positively warm, oddly free of moralizing, welcoming of disagreement and engagement.” —Los Angeles Review of Books Two Philosophers Ask and Answer the Big Questions About the Search for Faith and Happiness For seekers of all stripes, philosophy is timeless self-care. University of Notre Dame philosophy professors Meghan Sullivan and Paul Blaschko have shepherded thousands of students on the journey to faith and happiness in their blockbuster undergraduate course God and the Good Life. Now they invite us into their classroom to wrestle with the big questions about how to live and what makes life meaningful. They distill guidance from Aristotle, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, Iris Murdoch, and W. E. B. Du Bois to work through issues like what justifies our beliefs, whether we should practice a religion, and what sacrifices we should make for others. The Good Life Method applies the timeless wisdom of philosophy to real- world case studies that explore love, finance, truth, and more. In so doing, this book pushes us to escape our own caves, ask stronger questions, explain our deepest goals, and wrestle with suffering, the nature of death, and the existence of God.
