Meaning, Mattering, Transcendence

More about the book

Exploring the foundational concepts of morality and religion, this collection of essays delves into the meanings of "right and wrong," "God," and the nature of meaning itself. It draws on literary, philosophical, and theological sources while illustrating arguments through everyday experiences. Each essay stands alone but contributes to a cohesive argument about the pursuit of "ultimacy" or "transcendence." The work challenges reductionist perspectives, positing that these meanings are rooted in something beyond individual or societal constructs, bridging both religious and secular experiences.
