What is the point of living? If we are all going to die anyway, if nothing will remain of whatever we achieve in this life, why should we bother trying to achieve anything in the first place? The connection between death and meaning has taken centre stage in the work of some of the world's greatest writers: de Montaigne, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Melville, Nietzsche, James, Wittgenstein, Proust, Camus, and Beckett. The Meaning of Life and Death explores their ideas, uncovering common themes and contrasts in their understanding of what kind of world we live in and what really matters in life.
