5.0 out of 5 stars Philosophical Genius, January 12, 2006
By 
Brandon L. Baker "Brandon" (University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Meaning of Life (Paperback)
This book really awoke me to new paths of thought. I read it as a requirement at the Governor's Scholars Program. I was a philosophy major, and we spent a great deal delving into this book.

I found particularly intriguing the section of Tolstoy, pertaining to the eastern story.

You'll be amazed at the many approaches, from consequentialism, nihilism, and non-consequentialism in this book. Several paths of thought that will keep you wondering.
