Does anything really matter? How can a life achieve lasting significance? How can we explain the human propensity to struggle for ideals? How is meaning related to contentment, happiness, joy? Is meaning something we discover, or do we create it? What is the nature of value, and what are its sources in human experience? Can there be a meaning in life without religious faith? What is the meaning of death? Is life worth living? What would enable us to have a love of life?"Meaning in life," writes philosopher Irving Singer, "and the meaning in our own lives, results from creative efforts on our part. It is not a prior reality awaiting our discovery. Though we talk about a 'search' for meaning, what we are seeking is primarily a mode of creativity that will make our lives meaningful." In The Creation of Value, the first volume of his Meaning in Life trilogy, Singer studies the nature of imagination, idealization, and love in the context of humanity's attempt to define itself through the pursuit of meanings and values that it creates. Singer confronts life's most troubling problems: the meaning of death, the presence of anxiety in daily existence, the conditions needed for us to have a life worth living, and the possibility of a love of life in others as well as in ourselves. 410 0$aIrving Singer Library 606 $aLife 606 $aMeaning (Philosophy) 606 $aValues 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLife. 615 0$aMeaning (Philosophy) 615 0$aValues. 676 $a128 700 $aSinger$b Irving$0551800 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455612103321 996 $aThe creation of value$92004244 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01768nam 2200385Ia 450 001 996395761103316 005 20200824132045.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000057650 035 $a(EEBO)2264216204 035 $a(OCoLC)ocm12533872e 035 $a(OCoLC)12533872 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000057650 100 $a19850910d1686 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aSciothericum telescopicum, or, A new contrivance of adapting a telescope to an horizontal dial for observing the moment of time by day or night$b[electronic resource] $euseful in all astronomical observations, and for regulating and adjusting curious pendulum-watches and other time-keepers, with proper tables requisite thereto /$fby William Molyneux .. 210 $aDublin $cPrinted by Andrew Crook and Samuel Helsham ..., and are to be sold by W.
