Loading... What's It All About?: Philosophy and the Meaning of Lifeby Julian Baggini
![]()
None No current Talk conversations about this book. An invigorating and inspirational overview of the philosophical issues surrounding the meaning of life. Baggini covers issues in a logical manner starting with the question "Why are we here?" Other topics include living life, the good, happiness, dealing with self and the "threat of meaninglessness". What's it all about literally covers some heavy territory with lightness and wit. Along the way you learn and question and, hopefully, come away with some tools to use in approaching and achieving meaning in your life. Best of all there is an intelligent bibliography with further reading for each of the topics in the book and a useful index. This book includes some of the most valuable 200 pages that I have encountered in some time. ( ![]() no reviews | add a review
The great question of the meaning of life breaks down into a number of different questions, some of which must be answered differently and uniquely. Baggini offers philosophy not as a direct answer to this age-old question, but a method of sorts that gives us the resources for answering these smaller questions. No library descriptions found. |
