What Makes Life Meaningful?: A Debate - Paperback
by Thaddeus Metz (Author), Joshua W. Seachris (Author)
Can human life be meaningful? What does talk about life's meaning even mean? What is God's role, if any, in a meaningful life? These three questions frame this one-of-a-kind debate between two philosophers who have spent most of their professional lives thinking and writing about the topic of life's meaning.
Thaddeus Metz is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, and is often credited for having helped develop life's meaning as a distinct field in Anglo-American philosophy over the past 20 years. Metz has published more than 300 professional works, including the books Meaning in Life: An Analytic Study (2013) and God, Soul and the Meaning of Life (2019).
Joshua W. Seachris is Assistant Teaching Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, and managing editor of the Journal of Analytic Theology. From 2012-2023, he was Program Director for the Center for Philosophy of Religion at Notre Dame. In addition to his published journal articles, he is the editor of Exploring the Meaning of Life: An Anthology and Guide (2012); co-editor (with Stewart Goetz) of God and Meaning: New Essays (2016); and co-author (with Stewart Goetz) of What Is This Thing Called the Meaning of Life? (2020).
