PHIL 2640

Rational Choice and Happiness

Course Description

Disciplines

Artistic, Interpretive, & Philosophical Inquiry, Second Writing

In this class, we will examine philosophical puzzles about our ability to make rational choices that affect or determine our own happiness. How can we rationally decide to undergo a significant experience - such as having a child or moving to a new country - when have no way of knowing what that experience will be like? How can we rationally choose to make decisions about our future?
