The Really Hard Problem: Meaning in a Material World
Book • 2007
In 'The Really Hard Problem: Meaning in a Material World', Owen Flanagan addresses the challenge of explaining how meaning is possible in a purely material world.
He proposes a naturalistic approach, drawing on philosophy, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology, as well as nontheistic spiritual traditions like Buddhism and Stoicism.
Flanagan's concept of 'eudaimonics' seeks to understand human flourishing through a systematic, science-aligned inquiry.
