Happiness or Fulfillment - Philosophy for Lunch
Is there a difference between happiness and fulfillment?
The ancient Greek word "eudaimonia" is typically translated as "happiness," but that is misleading. The ancient Greek conception of what makes a life good is different from our culture's conception. We'll read and discuss selections from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics in order to explore his particular conception of eudaimonia.
Location: Dickson Hall, Room 430

Who's invited? No preparation or previous knowledge of philosophy is needed. Everyone is welcome!
Should I bring anything? Bring a beverage, and if you're hungry, bring your actual lunch.
What is this? Some students and a philosophy professor (or two) close-read and discuss a few of the greatest passages in the history of philosophy.
