Product Description

Review

"" On the Meaning of Life would serve well as a textbook for units of lower-level philosophy courses on this issue; general readers would also profit from it. It is concise and clear, and would provide an excellent starting point for discussion with students.."
-Jason Kawall, Colgate University


Product Description

The question 'What is the meaning of life?' is one of the oldest and most difficult questions we have ever asked ourselves. John Cottingham asks why we are so preoccupied with this question and assesses some attempts to answer it.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb insight, 31 Dec 2008
By Maggie H (London) - See all my reviews
I read this book a while ago after picking it up at random from a friend's shelf. It is beautifully written and argued; it's deceptively easy to read and carries its argument forward so subtly that you really don't know what his conclusion is going to be until you get there. It neither argues for religion in its tradiitonal form nor against it, but leaves it up to you, the reader, to decide; how refreshing after the narrow dogmatism of Richard Dawkins or some religious apologists. Highly recommended.
