Prerequisites/Notes: One course in philosophy, junior standing, or consent of instructor Catalog Description : We will explore philosophical writings that analyze the nature and significance of compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, and other virtues. This course has a meditation component, as we will also explore meditations designed to cultivate the virtues that we cover in our readings. By approaching the topics with both philosophical analysis and contemplative methods, we will aim at a more thorough understanding than we could accomplish by only using one method.
