On this episode of the podcast, I talk with Dr. Meghan Sullivan about her book The Good Life Method. The book, which is based on a wildly popular course at the University of Notre Dame, prescribes philosophy as care for the soul, teaching us to ask stronger questions about God and what makes for a good life. Among the questions we discuss:
- The disconnect between the contemporary practice of philosophy and the deep philosophical crises many are having
- What philosophy can offer that happiness studies or design theory can't
- How to ask stronger questions that move towards contemplation rather than control
- Love as a virtues that requires a greater capacity for attention than action
- How students are wrestling with faith and counsel for parents who worry about them
- The essential task of facing sadness and suffering
About 33 minutes in, Dr. Sullivan reads a passage from the book that is worth the price of admission. Get the book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/624476/the-good-life-method-by-meghan-sullivan-and-paul-blaschko
