Longing for Meaning in a Material World

This chapter examines the challenges faced by scientific materialists in finding inherent meaning and purpose in a godless worldview. It explores 'poetic naturalism' as a superficial attempt to create meaning through art and literature, while contrasting secular perspectives with theistic insights on beauty and significance. The discussion highlights the themes of longing, human experience, and the promise of deeper existence through the works of C.S. Lewis.
