About this course

This course will investigate the meaning of an interior life in order to find a way into it. For this, our guides will be Jesuit philosophers, from the 16th century unto present day. With them, we will ask questions about the role of philosophy in our lives, questions about how best to live, about how best to make the decisions and to carry out actions. The main goals of the course are to gain knowledge of the history of philosophy in the Jesuit tradition and to gain self-knowledge along with this tradition. Satisfies the following distribution requirement(s) for Philosophy: Ethics & Values.
