What is the point of living? If we are all going to die anyway, if
nothing will remain of whatever we achieve in this life, why should
we bother trying to achieve anything in the first place? Can we be
mortal and still live a meaningful life? Questions such as these
have been asked for a long time, but nobody has found a conclusive
answer yet. The connection between death and meaning, however, has
taken centre stage in the philosophical and literary work of some
of the world's greatest writers: Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Leo Tolstoy,
Soren Kierkegaard, Arthur Schopenhauer, Herman Melville, Friedrich
Nietzsche, William James, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Marcel Proust, and
Albert Camus. This book explores their ideas, weaving a rich
tapestry of concepts, voices and images, helping the reader to
understand the concerns at the heart of those writers' work and
uncovering common themes and stark contrasts in their understanding
of what kind of world we live in and what really matters in life.
