Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Can human life be meaningful? What does talk about lifes meaning even mean? What is Gods role, if any, in a meaningful life? These three questions frame this one-of-a-kind debate between two philosophers who have spent most of their professional lives thinking and writing about the topic of lifes meaning.In this wide-ranging scholarly conversation, Professors Thaddeus Metz and Joshua W. Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these questions, while responding to each others objections in a lively dialog format. Seachris argues that the concept of lifes meaning largely revolves around three interconnected ideasmattering, purpose, and sense-making; that a meaningful human life involves sufficiently manifesting all three; and that God would importantly enhance the meaningfulness of life on each of these three fronts. Metz instead holds that talk of lifes meaning is about a variety of properties such as meriting pride, transcending ones animal self, making a contribution, and authoring a life-story. For him, many lives are meaningful insofar as they exercise intelligence in positive, robust, and developmental ways. Finally, Metz argues that God is unnecessary for an objective meaning that suits human nature.Metz and Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these three questions, while responding to each others objections in a dialog format that is accessible to students thoughgiven their new contributionswill be of great interest to scholars as well.Key Features Offers an up-to-date scholarly conversation on lifes meaning by two researchers at the forefront of research on the topic.Provides a wide-ranging, yet orderly discussion of the most important issues.Accessible for the student investigating the topic for the first time yet also valuable to the scholar working on lifes meaning.Includes helpful pedagogical features, like:- Chapter outlines and introductions;- Annotated reading lists for both students and research-level readers;- A glossary; and- Clear examples, thought experiments, narratives, and cultural references, which enhance the books role in thinking about lifes meaning and related topics. Can human life be meaningful? What does talk about lifes meaning even mean? What is Gods role, if any, in a meaningful life? These three questions frame this one-of-a-kind debate between two philosophers who have spent most of their professional lives thinking and writing about the topic of lifes meaning.
