Steven Horst, professor of philosophy, lectured on “Means and Desires” Jan. 14 during the three-part mini-course on Living a Good Life. The series, which is ongoing until Feb. 1, is open to all alumni, parents, and friends of the University.
Horst speaks on desire-mapping.
“What should I value?”
“What should I believe?”
These are the questions that more than 760 alumni, parents, and friends of the University are exploring this winter as part of a three-part mini-course titled Living a Good Life.
Taught by Wesleyan Professors Steven Horst, Stephen Angle, and Tushar Irani, the course gives attendees the chance to participate in activities during each one-hour virtual webinar. Attendance is encouraged for all three classes, but not required.
