Two Notre Dame philosophy professors distill the lessons of their popular undergraduate course, "God and the Good Life." They invite readers into the classroom to work through issues like what justifies our beliefs, whether we should practice a religion and what sacrifices we should make for others, investigating the ideas of Aristotle, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, Iris Murdoch, W. E. B. Du Bois and others.
