PHIL 5419 Capstone: A Life Well Lived

Capstone classes may NOT be taken Pass/Fail. You may take only ONE Capstone class before graduation. Seniors only. This course engages students in a serious reflection on what it means to have a life well lived. It is advantageous to do this reflection as you are transitioning from your life on The Heights to your personal and professional life beyond college, affording you the time and opportunity to shape your life going forward. What kind of life do you hope to live? What will bring you peace and satisfaction dare one say, even happiness? Students will be asked to examine themselves by looking both backwards and forwards in many dimensions of their lives (education, ethics, relationships, career, etc.) while learning what others have said about having a life of meaning and purpose.
