This volume critically engages with the work of the acclaimed
Australian sociologist John Carroll. It makes the argument for a
metaphysical sociology, which Carroll has proposed should focus on
the questions of fundamental existence that confront all humans:
'Where do I come from?', 'What should I do with my life?' and 'What
happens to me when I die?'. These questions of meaning, in the
secular modern West, have become difficult to answer. As
contemporary individuals increasingly draw on their inner
resources, or 'ontological qualities', to pursue quests for
meaning, the key challenge for a metaphysical sociology concerns
the cultural resources available to people and the manner in which
they are cultivated. Through wide-ranging discussions which
include, film, romantic love, terrorism and video games,
Metaphysical Sociology takes up this challenge. The contributors
include emerging and established sociologists, a philosopher, a
renowned actor and a musician. As such, this collection will appeal
to scholars of social theory and sociology, and to the general
reader with interests in morality, art, culture and the fundamental
questions of human existence.
