Life Revisited: Finding Meaning and Purpose in an age of Nihilism (in English)
Luke R.H. Schiller
Synopsis "Life Revisited: Finding Meaning and Purpose in an age of Nihilism (in English)"
Something strange is happening.Despite the improving human condition and our increasing prosperity as a species, a sense of collective existential dread is intensifying beneath the surface. While there is every reason to be optimistic about our future, people across the Western world are instead relentlessly pursuing a fatal combination of nihilism and hedonism; simply put, the belief that nothing really matters and immediate pleasure is the only thing worth pursuing.In his groundbreaking first book, Luke Schiller attributes this very puzzling discrepancy to a cause that we are all too eager to avoid talking about – a crisis of meaning.By initially taking us on a brief yet fascinating historical journey in humanity’s quest for understanding, Schiller compellingly argues that this preeminent crisis of meaning has been brought about by five crucial trends. Understanding these trends and acknowledging the existence of this crisis, Schiller argues, are the first steps in being able to mend ourselves.A formula for solving this crisis is precisely what Schiller then offers. The insights contained in this book, combined with its masterfully-crafted framework of meaning, provide us with a practical, transformative, and deeply fulfilling enterprise at a time when it is needed most.It is time to reconceptualise what life is all about - before it is too late. There is no better place to start.
