ICS371: God & Happiness
Mondays, 7:30-9:30PM
Location: 314 Anabel Taylor Hall

Taught by Chesterton House Teaching Fellow, Jim Thomforde:

Aristotle wrote that most people “identify living well and doing well with being happy – but with regard to what happiness is they differ.” While most of us have some sense of what happiness is, we might have a hard time explaining this important concept. Every one of us desires to be happy, but without a clear grasp of what we believe about happiness – can we ever hope to attain it? What is happiness? How can we achieve happiness? Join us to explore the ways in which philosophers and theologians of the Early Modern period (~15th-18th centuries), contemporary thinkers, and the Bible help us answer these crucial questions.
