Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Honors College

Description:

"What does it mean to live well?" is one of the most basic and enduring human questions, perennially asked by people who care about their well-being or that of their neighbors. "The Good Life" is a foundational course in the Honors College focused on Christian ethics and character formation, taken in the first semester of a student's first year. It considers the moral practices, virtues, vices, knowledge, and loves that help and hinder individual human flourishing, examining these ideas through the writings of select pagan and Christian poets, novelists, philosophers, and theologians, including Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, C. S. Lewis, and Graham Greene.
