Recenzii
"Goetz and Seachris have written an outstanding, systematic, engaging book on the meaning of life. There is no better guide to this important area of inquiry, one of great importance both within and outside academic life." - Charles Taliaferro, St. Olaf College, USA
"This is a readable and stimulating introduction to life’s greatest question. It is a text book but not just a text book, for it breaks new ground in being structured around an original and impressively thorough survey of the meaning of meaning. It will appeal to both academics and general readers." - Stephen Leach, Keele University, UK
