If, as Socrates reportedly proclaimed, “the unexamined life is not worth living”, then how ought we to live examined lives? This course invites students to consider the qualities and activities of a genuinely examined life. Students will read autobiographical examples of the examined life, develop practices of self-reflection, engage in a community project, and craft a portfolio that articulates their own understanding of the examined life.
