Breakout
Taking Stock
In this wrap-up breakout section of the semester, we take stock of the different approaches to the good life we've covered in the Greco-Roman and Chinese traditions — both in terms of the features of the good life that they recommend and in terms of the practical guidance they put forward. This will also serve as preparation for the final debate of the semester next week.
