"The volume presents 32 essays on a wide array of topics in modern philosophical meaning in life research. The essays are organized into six sections: Section I, Understanding Meaning in Life, focuses on various ways of conceptualizing meaning in life. Among other issues, it discusses whether meaning in life should be understood objectively or subjectively, the relation between importance and meaningfulness, and whether meaningful lives should be understood narratively. Section II, Meaning in Life, Science, and Metaphysics, presents opposing views on whether neuroscience sheds light on life's meaning, inquires whether hard determinists must see life as meaningless, and explores the relation between time, personal identity, and meaning. Section III, Meaning in Life and Religion, examines the relation between meaningfulness, mysticism and transcendence, and considers life's meaning from both atheist and theist perspectives. Section IV, Ethics and Meaning in Life, examines (among other issues) whether meaningful lives must be moral, how important forgiveness is for meaning, the relation between life's meaningfulness (or meaninglessness) and procreation ethics, and whether animals have meaningful lives. Section V, Philosophical Psychology and Meaning in Life, compares philosophical and psychological research on life's meaning, explores the experience of meaningfulness, and discusses the relation between meaningfulness and desire, love, and gratitude. Section VI, Living Meaningfully: Challenges and Prospects, elaborates on topics such as suicide, suffering, education, optimism and pessimism, and their relation to life's meaning"--

Pierre d’Aillys Insolubilia, verfasst um 1372 an der Universität von Paris, sind ein wichtiges Zeugnis in der Geschichte der Logik und Philosophie des späten Mittelalters. Sie erfreuten sich bereits eine Generation nach ihrer Entstehung aufgrund ihres klaren Stils großer Beliebtheit bei zeitgenössischen Autoren und stießen noch über das 15. Jahrhundert hinaus auf reges Interesse. Ihr Thema – semantische Antinomien wie die berühmte Antinomie des Lügners – wurde seit dem späten 12. Jahrhundert für mehr als drei Jahrhunderte an den Artes-Fakultäten kontrovers diskutiert, eine reich überlieferte Insolubilia-Literatur entstand. Indem Antinomien wie der „Lügner“ mit dem aristotelischen Gesetz vom Widerspruch in Konflikt stehen, fordern sie die traditionelle Logik in einem ihrer wichtigsten Prinzipien heraus. Die sophismatische Disputation solcher Non-Standard-Materialien führte so zur Analyse der fundamentalen Begriffe des Satzes, der Wahrheit und der Bedeutung. Abhandlungen wie die Insolubilia Pierre d’Aillys geben damit einen Einblick in die zur Zeit des Autors vertretenen Positionen zum Verhältnis von Sprache, Geist und Wirklichkeit. Die vorliegende Edition ist die erste moderne, textkritische Edition der Insolubilia und basiert auf Grundlage aller Zeugen des Textes. Sie bietet dem heutigen Leser erstmals einen zuverlässigen und authentischen Text des Traktats.
