The great questions of life

Who are we? Why are we here? How should we live and behave toward others?

For millennia, human beings have been asking the great questions of life. The study of philosophy and religion examines the many ways we’ve tried to answer those questions.

Understanding philosophy and religion is vital to developing mature values and ethical reasoning. It will help you evaluate the conflicting claims of various groups and build a solid foundation for your own reasoning and beliefs.
