Notre Dame philosophy professors Meghan Sullivan and Paul Blaschko have reinvigorated this tradition in their wildly popular and influential undergraduate course God and the Good Life  in which they wrestle with the big questions about how to live and what makes life meaningful.  Now they invite us into the classroom to work through issues like what justifies our beliefs  whether we should practice a religion and what sacrifices we should make for othersas well as to investigate what figures such as Aristotle  Plato  Marcus Aurelius  Iris Murdoch  and W. E. B. Du Bois have to say about how to live well. Sullivan and Blaschko do the timeless work of philosophy using real-world case studies that explore love  finance  truth  and more. In so doing  they push 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.  Philosophers know that our good life plan is one that we as individuals need to be constantly and actively writing to achieve some meaningful control and sense of purpose even if the world keeps throwing surprises our way. For at least the past 2 500 years  philosophers have taught that goal-seeking is an essential part of what it is to be humanand crucially that we could find our own good life by asking better questions of ourselves and of one another. This virtue ethics approach resonates profoundly in our own moment.  The Good Life Method is a winning guide to tackling the big questions of being human with the wisdom of the ages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652767473717,"sku":"ByrdShop_1984880306","price":32.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781984880307.jpg?v=1781852699","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-good-life-method-reasoning-through-the-big-questions-of-happiness-faith-and-meaning-9781984880307","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
