Course Description

The Big Questions: Meaning, Death, and the Good Life is a free ebook course in Basic studies and Philosophy designed for anyone who wants clearer thinking about what matters most. Instead of abstract debate, you will learn practical ways to reflect on purpose, values, mortality, and everyday ethics so you can make decisions with more confidence and less confusion.

Through progressive lessons, you will explore meaning in life by examining sources of purpose and the standards you use to judge whether life feels worthwhile. You will learn how to build a personal view of values without jargon, strengthening your ability to talk about what matters with honesty and precision. Along the way, the course connects philosophy to real life by showing how freedom and responsibility shape your choices, how constraints influence self authorship, and how authenticity can look like living in alignment rather than performing a life.

The course also offers a grounded approach to mortality and the fear of death, helping you identify what you are actually afraid of and how that fear influences priorities. You will reflect on grief, love, and attachment to understand why loss hurts and what it reveals about meaning. With a focus on well being, you will compare pleasure and fulfillment, examine suffering and resilience without forcing a silver lining, and develop habits of reflection that support steadier mental clarity during difficult seasons.

As you move forward, you will connect character and the good life to relationships and everyday ethical decisions, then bring these insights into life choices, regret, trade offs, and irreversibility. By the end, you will be able to integrate a coherent life philosophy that fits your experience while remaining open to growth and revision, giving you a usable framework for meaning, death, and the good life.
