Description

The Ultimate Questions by Bryan Magee explores our fundamental need to understand who we are and the world we live in. Despite reason's ability to take us far, mystery remains, and faith can seem justified when our minds and senses are baffled. Magee argues that we have no way of fathoming our own natures or finding definitive answers to life's big questions. Instead, he urges us to be the mapmakers of what is intelligible and identify the boundaries of meaningfulness. This approach to existence can enrich our lives and transform our understanding of the human predicament. Ultimately, Magee's work offers a deeply personal meditation on the meaning of life and how we should live and face death.
