This course forms part of Sacred Heart University's common core sequence The Human Journey. Each course in The Human Journey addresses four fundamental questions of human meaning and value. These questions are: (1) What does it mean to be human? (2) What does it mean to live a life of meaning and purpose? (3) What does it mean to understand and appreciate the natural world? (4) What does it mean to forge a more just society for the common good? The course investigates philosophical and religious understanding of the human condition as a theme running through the four questions. In dialogue with classic and contemporary texts from a wide range of philosophical and religious traditions, particularly the Catholic intellectual tradition, the professor and students explore the quest of the ethical human life as it is lived both personally and socially.
