The Examined Life is an interdisciplinary course that addresses perennial questions by linking them to contemporary issues of significant ethical import that have bearing on daily living and social life. It is meant to bring multiple lenses to bear on topics related to our shared condition and deepen our understanding of the complex realities of human existence. Through thoughtful engagement with these topics and in community with others, students will attend to and reflect upon their personal experiences with the end goal to form ideas and opinions on how we are called to respond to the challenges confronting our world today. This course is restricted to Woods College BA students.
