520    "Notre Dame Philosophy professors Meghan Sullivan and Paul
       Blaschko have gone deep with that work in their wildly 
       popular and influential undergraduate course GOD AND THE 
       GOOD LIFE, in which they wrestle with the big questions 
       about how to live and what makes life meaningful. Now they
       invite us into the classroom to tackle such issues as what
       justifies your beliefs, whether you should practice a 
       religion, and what sacrifices you should make for others--
       as well as to investigate what Aristotle, Plato, Descartes,
       Kant, and Murdoch have to say about how to live well. 
       Sullivan and Blaschko teach us how to reason through real-
       world case studies by doing the timeless work of 
       philosophy like escaping our own caves, learning to doubt 
       everything, asking strong questions, grasping our own 
       purpose, and wrestling with the problem of evil and the 
       existence of God. For at least the past 2500 years 
       philosophers have taught that goal-seeking is an essential
       part of what it is to be human--and crucially that we 
       could find our own good life by asking better questions. 
       Their virtue ethics approach resonates profoundly in our 
       own moment. Philosophers know that our "good life plan" is
       one that we as individuals need to be constantly and 
       actively writing. In that work, we can achieve some 
       meaningful control even if the world keeps throwing 
       surprises our way. THE GOOD LIFE is a winning guide to 
       tackling the big questions of being human with the wisdom 
       of the ages"--|cProvided by publisher.
