What Makes for a Meaningful Life? A Search

With the frenzied pace of life, there is little time to ponder the meaning of life. How does a person find deeper meaning? What is the relationship of the meaning of my life to a larger purpose? Writers, thinkers, & religious thinkers; ordinary folks--a neighbor, one's parents & grandparents--have grappled with these questions. The course explores some responses to the "big questions" of life. Readings & films are taken from different cultures, times, & spheres of human endeavor & experience.
