Whether it’s wrestling with questions about the meaning of life or tackling contemporary issues with no easy solutions, philosophy has played a crucial role in the development of our society from Ancient Greece to the twenty-first century.

In the ninth episode of For Good, Meghan Sullivan, the Wilsey Family Collegiate Professor of Philosophy and the Director of the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study and the Notre Dame Ethics Initiative, talks from Fr. Hesburgh’s historic office about how the University has a responsibility to become a global leader in philosophical and ethical studies, how Fr. Hesburgh’s legacy resonates both on campus and beyond, and how Notre Dame teaches students to apply philosophical lessons in their own lives to create a more ethical and just future for all.

For Good: Stories from Notre Dame offers a glimpse behind the scenes at the incredible people who drive Our Lady’s University forward and make it a force for good.
