Review of Stewart Goetz's The Purpose of Life

2014, Faith and Philosophy

In The Purpose of Life: A Theistic Perspective, Stewart Goetz contributes to the expanding discussion within analytic philosophy on life's meaning. Regrettably, for the better part of the last century analytic philosophers devoted next to no attention to a topic at the heart of the human condition-the meaning of life. However, recent momentum in the other direction is encouraging, and Goetz's new book adds energy to this young, yet developing body of research.
