Finding Meaning

Philosophy

“This rich collection of essays revisits our contemporary malaise, which would be rooted in the abiding sense that there is nothing on which to ground ‘meaning.’ The collaborators entertain answers from love of family to the neo-Homeric ‘all things resplendent,’ to aesthetics, and a meditation on primitive Christianity. Through the chapters’ unfolding, we are privy to histories of nihilism, although contemporary responses are not lacking. This collection provides us resources to pursue the multifaceted critiques, and thereby appreciate what was lost and what, found. The journey proves well worth it.”
