Philosophy for Lunch
Feb 23, 2017 - The Meaning of Life
In a chapter with that title, in his book What Does It All Mean, Thomas Nagel explains just why we occasionally feel that our lives have no meaning. He also makes some interesting suggestions about how we might adjust our perspective in order to find meaning in our lives. We'll read and discuss passages from this book, as well as Nagel's The View from Nowhere.
