What is the Meaning of Human Life? de Raymond Angelo Belliotti

What is the Meaning of Human Life?: Value Inquiry Book Series, cartea 109

Autor Raymond Angelo Belliotti
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2000
This book examines core concerns of human life. What is the relationship between a meaningful life and theism? Why are some human beings radically adrift, without radical foundations, and struggling with hopelessness? Is the cosmos meaningless? Is human life akin to the ancient Myth of Sisyphus? What is the role of struggle and suffering in creating meaning? How do we discover or create value? Is happiness overrated as a goal of life? How, if at all, can we learn to die meaningfully?
