A Meaning to Life Audiobook (Free)

Does human life possess any meaning? Does the question actually make sense today? For years and years, the question of this is or purpose of human lifestyle was assumed by scholars and theologians to have a religious solution: life provides meaning because human beings were made in the image of a good god. In the 19th century, nevertheless, Charles Darwin’s theory of development transformed everything-and the human being organism was seen to become more machine than heart. Ever since, with the rise of technology and decline of religious perception, about A Meaning to Life there has been growing interest-and developing doubt-about whether human being life really does have meaning. If it can, where might we think it is?

The historian and philosopher of science Michael Ruse investigates this question, and wonders whether we are able to look for a new meaning alive within Darwinian views of human being nature. If God no more exists-or if God no longer cares-rather than marketing a bleak nihilism, many Darwinians think we are able to convert Darwin into a form of secular humanism. Ruse clarifies that, within a tradition going back to the time of Darwin himself, and represented today from the evolutionist E. O. Wilson, progression is seen as progress-‘from monad to man.’
