Course Description

We typically think of ethics as problems that periodically call for decisions and choices. Yet the moral life goes on continuously and is best defined not as episodic choices but as streams of practical virtues, or traits of character. These character traits live in us as personal and interactive skills, and it is these skills that both give us our daily orientation and shape our decisions and choices. This course will define and explore those moral skills that are most important for a good and happy life. We will draw from a wide range of sources: religious and secular, humanistic, poetic, literary, and scientific. The emphasis will be on how these virtues function, this is, the work they do for us. Exercises and practical engagement will be a part of each session. This course will be recorded.
