Susan Wolf wrote an engaged, nuanced conversation about how meaning can be assessed in life, and why that's important. This is a question that most undergraduates (at Sacred Heart University, or elsewhere) seem to want to avoid --and yet it lies at the heart of whole enterprise called a liberal arts education, or educating the whole person. The book is a kind of symposium. Wolf’s two essays (“Meaning in Life,” and “Why It Matters”) are followed by responses from four distinguished scholars. This give the entire work a texture, range, and collective impact beyond any one or two essays. Read more at The Extensible Librarian: The Blog of the University Librarian. --Gavin Ferriby
