The Meaning Of Life Perspectives From The World's Great Intellectual Traditions by Jay L. Garfield
Perspectives from the World's Great Intellectual Traditions
A wide-ranging anthology that brings together perspectives from major religious and philosophical traditions to explore how different cultures and intellectual lineages answer the question of what gives life meaning. Through comparative essays and translations, it examines competing answers—purpose, virtue, duty, harmony with the cosmos, liberation from suffering, and communal belonging—while highlighting the practices and concepts that ground those answers in lived experience. The volume emphasizes cross-cultural dialogue rather than offering a single solution, showing how diverse frameworks illuminate different aspects of human flourishing, death, and moral responsibility.
