2.0 out of 5 stars
...obviously from academia's perspective,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Meaning of Life in the World Religion (Library of Global Ethics & Rel) (Paperback)
As with any collection of articles by separate authors, the ones in this volume vary greatly in quality and objectivity. However, they are on the whole not terribly compelling. The writing is very philosophical, circuitous, and sometimes not even terribly useful. Take this exerpt from the chapter on Christianity: "In this discussion, I shall understand questions about the meaning of life to concern the meaning of human life. Though some of the questions I shall consider can be expanded to apply to the lives of at least some non-human animals, I shall ignore such expansions in order to keep attention focused on the questions of paramount religious significance." Gee, thanks, how focused of you. And the rest of the article does not so much describe the Christian perspective on the meaning of life, but seemingly the author's own personal take on what's important. Many of the rest of the articles read the same way. So unless you were assigned this book for a class, I don't really recommend it. |
