LAS 412 - If You Are What You Should Be

3 Credit Hours
St. Catherine of Siena wrote to a friend in the midst of a plague, “If you are what you should be, you will set the world on fire.”  How is it that we discover who we “should” be?  Is the meaning and purpose of our lives something we discern, or something we create?  What does it mean to be good and to lead a good life, for each of us in our own complex circumstances and identities?   Accompanied by the philosopher Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics and the stories of others who have wrestled with these questions before us, this course will consider the ideas of vocation and calling for the student approaching college graduation.

Prerequisite(s): Senior standing.
