What is the best life for human beings? How should I live? What should I value? These are the questions that guide these lectures; the same questions that intrigued philosophers like Socrates, the Stoics, the Skeptics, Kant, Mill, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and that (should) interest us today. Professor Rick Roderick’s lectures offer no dogmatic answers, but only certain paths that have been taken in the past as they relate to us today. This way of proceeding is grounded in the very stuff of everyday living, with all its passion and immediacy. Prof. Roderick disagrees strongly with the distance that contemporary philosophy has taken from the immediate questions of human living, arguing that no answers to genuinely important questions about human values are so obscure that they can’t be made understandable to the public and in the public sphere.

The course is irreverent, provocative and insightful. Professor Roderick examines the contributions of philosophy through millennia of human deliberation into the present postmodern day where mankind confronts the great challenge of understanding its aspiration for identity, justice and freedom. The lectures relentlessly compel you to rethink the project of our culture and our lives.
