A timely meditation on humankind's search for purpose and meaning. Andreas Mourtouvanis considers the work of influential writers and thinkers, such as Huxley, Jung, Maslow and Nietzsche, in order to examine the role of love in the pursuit of meaning. With longer sections on Aristotle and Plato, Mourtouvanis discusses the classical origins of modern ideas of love and its relation to faith. His final conclusions on the interconnection between love and life after death is a challenge and provocation to the modern reader.
