About This Course: Although much fewer philosophers in our times would claim to have the privilege of telling people how they should live their life meaningfully, philosophy can perhaps still be helpful in telling us how we should see how we should live our life meaningfully by showing what our life would be like if we view it as a story that is authored and told by ourselves. In this mini course, you will be given relatively easier access to those philosophical questions and positions that are implied in this “narrative conception of human life” and those that can be otherwise esoteric and intimidating.
