Faith, Reason, and the Good Life

In this episode of For Your Consideration, we are delighted to bring you a lecture on the role of faith in our reasoning about the good life, which was delivered at the Center by Dr. Meghan Sullivan of the University of Notre Dame on October 5th.

Dr. Sullivan is the Wilsey Family Collegiate Professor of Philosophy. She serves as Director of the NDIAS, a university-wide research institute that supports faculty, doctoral students, undergraduates and visiting fellows pursuing cross-disciplinary research on major ethical themes. Sullivan has published two books: Time Biases (OUP 2018) and The Good Life Method (Penguin 2021, with Paul Blaschko). She is currently working on her third, which considers the moral and political significance of love of strangers.

Near the end of the talk, Dr. Sullivan played a video clip featuring an exchange that occurred on Stephen Colbert’s late night talk show. The audio of the clip did not come through in our recording, but you can watch the clip here.

If you enjoy the lecture, we encourage you to share it with others.
