The Crisis of Meaning

One of the themes that kind of revolves around a lot of your work is as you said the crisis of meaning and specifically meaning. I feel like in order to have a discussion on the crisis ofmeaning it would be good if you could try to define what meaning is. What I'm talking about is that sense of connectedness to yourself and to other people and to the world so that you are not overwhelmed by feelings of absurdity or alienation or anxiety. That's what I mean by meaning.
