In this seminar, we examine what happens when we face the prospect of making life’s most important commitments. As Agnes Callard and L.A. Paul have noted, choosing a religion, a spouse, or a career shapes you in ways you can’t anticipate. You can’t fully know what will make the “future you” happy, since your present choices will shape you in ways you cannot anticipate. How then can we commit when we don’t fully know what we’re committing to? And is the deepest orientation of our life something we choose or something we discover? Join Nathaniel Peters (Morningside) for a discussion of how to commit in the face of the unknown.
