SHERYL OVERMYERE-MAIL: framework for this course is a rich strand in the Christian ETHICS tradition called VIRTUE ETHICS . VIRTUE ETHICS begins with the common human question: in what does our happiness consist? Christianity offers a distinctive answer. In class we'll begin with questions about the good life, move to the role of 'passions' in making us happy, and fnally focus on the diverse activities called ' virtues ' that constitute happiness. Our readings draw from a range of authors from aristotle , Augustine, Aquinas, and contemporary theologians. We will use part of our time together to engage extended examples correlated with these themes.
