INQ-120 | In Socrates’ Footsteps

Full Title: In Socrates’ Footsteps: The Philosophical Quest for Right and Wrong

Topic Description:

How should I live? What is the good life? How can I gain my highest potential? These questions were for Socrates the most important and pressing questions human beings can ask -- and must ask – as he believed “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By following in Socrates’ footsteps, we will embark on the philosophical quest to grasp the truth about right and wrong. This means that we will strive to move beyond popular opinions about the good life, which we too commonly accept without much thought, and toward knowledge grounded in reasons and evidence.
