Dr. Robert McNamara

Dr. Robert McNamara, a philosophy lecturer and specialist in medieval and phenomenological thought, dives into the chaos of contemporary life. He discusses how nihilism and absurdism poison our cultural air and lead to meaninglessness. By emphasizing wonder, attention, and virtue, he offers a path to finding purpose amidst chaos. McNamara draws on Viktor Frankl’s insights about finding dignity in suffering and argues that personal meaning is linked to our unique destinies. He also provides practical tips for cultivating wonder through friendship, nature, and the arts.
