The question 'What is the meaning of life?' is one of the most
fascinating, oldest and most difficult questions human beings have ever
posed themselves. In an increasingly secularized culture, it remains a
question to which we are ineluctably and powerfully drawn.
Drawing skillfully on a wealth of thinkers, writers and scientists from
Augustine, Descartes, Freud and Camus, to Spinoza, Pascal, Darwin, and
Wittgenstein, On the Meaning of Life breathes new vitality into one of
the very biggest questions.
