What is the meaning of life? Philosophy, Religion, and the Meaning of Life charts how this provocative question has been pursued through the ages by both religion and the Western philosophical tradition. Award-winning Professor Francis J. Ambrosio delivers a clear and usable framework for understanding the history of the human path to meaning. His main approach to this engaging topic is through a focus on two intriguing archetypes: the Saint and the Hero. Embracing a wide range of perspectives, these 36 lectures are an intellectual adventure that speaks deeply to an inspiring, creative dimension in living.
