| What
is it? |
The
ancients believed in an
enchanted universe – a universe suffused with meaning and
purpose. But with the dawn of modernity, philosophy and science
conspired together to disenchant the universe, to reveal it as entirely
devoid of meaning and purpose. Must any rational and reflective person
living in the 21st century accept such nihilism? Or is there a way to
re-infuse the disenchanted universe with meaning and purpose? Join John
and Ken for a thought-provoking discussion of nihilism and meaning with
Hubert Dreyfus, co-author of the forthcoming A Life
Worth Living After the Death of God: Luring Back the Gods in Our
Secular Age. |
