REL 74.20 The Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life? Is it power, wisdom, sacrifice, or happiness? Is it rooted in relationships or self-fulfillment? This course investigates the meaning of life through materials from religious traditions and “spiritual but not religious” communities around the world. The FSP maximizes our location in Edinburgh through readings by local authors, field trips, and an interview-based project. Together we will explore values and practices that have inspired people and defined civilizations throughout history.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
