Description

Life and its meaning is a mystery almost impossible to solve, but what can the leading theories teach us about the search for purpose?
For most of us, the major questions of life continue to perplex: Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live? In the late nineteenth century, a class of thinkers emerged who made solving these problems central to their work. They understood that human questions demand human answers and that without understanding what it means to be human, there are no answers.
