A Significant Life: Human Meaning in a Silent Universe by Todd May

3.0

Again, this should probably be a four stars, because it *is* a great book with great insights, but somehow I wasn't as enthusiastic about it all the time as I felt it should be. Maybe it was because of the (surely necessary) bouts of theory, this very slow approximation to the core of things which is, of course, the very nature of philosophy. Maybe that's why I don't read so much philosophy. This patient deconstruction of every argument and counter-argument, when the original proposition already seemed intuitively *right* was unnerving. But again, this is just me, and my ratings are just that, my own personal ratings. If you often ask yourself "does my life have meaning? does human life have meaning? how can I know?", you should definitely read this.
