It draws novel and surprising consequences from determinism for our attitudes toward such things as death, regret, grief, and the meaning of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book argues that rationalism is the right attitude to take toward reality. It then shows that rationalism implies determinism and that determinism has surprising and far-reaching consequences. The author contends that the existence of all of humanity almost certainly depends on the precise time and manner of your death and mine; that purely retrospective regret, relief, gratitude, and grief are irrational for all but those who hold extreme values; and that everyone's life has an unending impact on the future and thereby achieves the strongest kind of meaning that it makes sense to desire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a direct and accessible style, \u003ci\u003eDeterminism, Death, and Meaning \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in metaphysics, philosophy of\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018858791255,"sku":"9781032134185","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032134185.jpg?v=1750778418","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/determinism-death-and-meaning-9781032134185","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
