The Life of Meaning

"The Life of Meaning" is a paper by Ben Nolan, exploring the role of philosophy and theology in the status of the concept of meaning. Speaking at length with self-proclaimed philosophers and religious experts and analysing their conversations, Nolan questions why people choose to put meaning where they do, why and how they keep their faith within one idea or set of ideas and all with a sharp whit and sense of deduction. All the interviews conducted by Nolan are presented in their entirety, with musings and ideas post the interaction on why the interviewees answered in the way that they did and what this suggests about how they view meaning posed separately.
