He focuses on two contrasting attitudes toward life experiences: "interested" (goal-oriented) and "intraested" (non-goal- oriented, i.e., something directed only at itself) and shows that both attitudes are important and necessary in order to make life meaningful. Philosophy, psychology, religion, myth, poetry, and music are all brought to bear on such specific life-meaning issues as work, play, love, art, neurosis, and happiness, and in a touching epilogue, Eckstein discusses his own life meanings in terms of metaphysical loneliness, laughter, and dignity."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Meaning (Philosophy)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85082692 650 0 Life.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85076807 650 7 Meaning (Philosophy)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1013149 650 7 Life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1198505 653 "Multi-User" 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Dictionaries.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026086 655 7 Dictionaries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423826 776 08 |iPrint version:|aEckstein, Jerome.|tOn meanings of life. |dAlbany : State University of New York Press, ©2002 |w(DLC) 2002021023 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=549477|zOnline eBook.
