Does death threaten meaning?What is this thing called The Meaning of Life? provides an engaging and stimulating introduction to philosophical thinking about life’s meaning.

Goetz and Seachris provide the reader with accessible examples, before looking at the main theoretical approaches to meaning and key philosophers associated with them.

Topics covered include: What does the question, "What is the meaning of life?", even mean?Does life have a purpose?What is valuable?
