Pilot Course Dropping in Spring 2024!

In Spring 2024, Lara Buchak and Andrew Chignell are teaching the inaugural edition of our pilot course for undergraduates: Philosophy, Religion, and Existential Commitments. The course will be offered again in Spring 2025.

Course Description:

The choice of a kind of life involves both fundamental commitments and day-to-day decisions. This course is interested in zooming out and zooming in: how should we adopt commitments, and how do we realize them in ordinary life? What is the purpose of life, and how can you fulfill it? Should you live by an overall narrative, or is your life just the sum of what you actually do? Are commitments chosen or given to you? Are the decisions we think of as high stakes important at all? When should you relinquish what you thought were your deepest commitments? What should you do when commitments clash?
