The Death of God and the Meaning of Life

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What is the meaning of life? In the post-modern, post-religious scientific world, this question is becoming a preoccupation. But it also has a long history: many major figures in philosophy had something to say on the subject, as Julian Young so vividly illustrates in this thought-provoking second edition of The Death of God and the Meaning of Life.
