< January: Using your Profession to Change the World: Mind

february: Visit to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty

Main Points of Class

• We will take the Staten Island Ferry from Manhattan to Staten Island and back in order to enjoy great views of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

• This will serve as inspiration for our reflection on the human faculty of the will.

• Those who move to a different country to start a new life do so because of dreams for great goods (freedom, the future of their families, education, etc.), being willing at the same time to sacrifice many lesser goods (comfort, security, some friendships).

• Fully developing our will involves aiming at great goods while moderating desires for lesser goods.
