For much of history, philosophy was not a technical academic discipline, but instead a form of knowledge meant to make possible a life well-lived.  What is “the good life” and how does one discern it? Can we truly know “the good life” if we’re not also practicing living that life? And how does Christian faith and theology relate to philosophy as a way of life?Join us for this four-day exploration of “living the questions” together. Class time will be supplemented by guest speakers, field trips around the UMN campus, and activities to help bring the ideas we are considering to life. Lunch and snacks provided.
