Edited by Dr. Joshua W. (University of Notre Dame, USA) Seachris, Professor Stewart (Ursinus College, USA) Goetz
Hardback
Description
Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest among analytic philosophers in the topic of life’s meaning.
What is striking about this surge of work is that nearly all of it is by naturalists theorizing from non-theistic starting points. This book answers the need for a theistic philosophical perspective on the meaning of life.
Bringing together some of the leading thinkers in analytic philosophy of religion and theology, God and Meaning touches on important issues in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of religion, and biblical theology that intersect with life’s meaning.
In particular: What does the question “What is the meaning of life?” mean?
How can we know if life has meaning and what that meaning is?
Might God enhance life’s meaningfulness in some ways but detract from it in others?
Is the most meaningful life one of perfect happiness?
What is the relationship between eternity and life’s meaning?
How does the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes illumine the topic?
Should we hope that a kind of transcendent meaning exists? Presenting a state-of-the-art assessment of current philosophical positions on these and many other questions, God and Meaning is an invaluable resource for all students and scholars of the philosophy of religion.
