Methods of Achieving a Good Life  Power & Creativity (250): “Will to Power” Man desires the power to grow as a person and to develop one’s talents, to create. -Nietzsche  Religion (250): Devoting one’s life to following religious dogma; “religion…permeates and dominates [all other desires].” –Paul Tillich & Kierkegaard  Happiness/Eudaimonia (251): That which is desired for its own sake and not for the sake of anything else –Aristotle

Your Method for the Good Life  After examining various attempts at living “the Good life” it is time to for you to attempt to express your opinion on the Good Life. Before you leave today, write a 1 paragraph response to the following set of questions; do try to address each question:  What does it mean to live rightly (the Good Life)? What should we want out of life? What is worth Working for? What about life should we just accept and move on?
