Other approaches can be considered as combinations or variations of these. Firstly, there is the approach which claims that it is our humanity, exercising its unique intelligent subjectivity, that is the source and measure of all possible meaning and value. Nothing can be thought of as existing, meaningful or of value apart from a thinking human subject. This is a broadly Humanist approach to ultimate meaning. Man is the measure of all things. Secondly, there is the approach of Scientism. This claims that an ultimate understanding of the world and ourselves must be sought, less anthropocentrically, in terms of the findings of basic empirical sciences such as physics and chemistry. We live in a world ever-increasingly dominated by the autonomous system of science and technology. Such Scientism implies an explicitly reductionist and materialist conception of the meaning and value of everything. Thirdly, there is the approach of Theism which maintains that, in the final analysis, the meaning and value of everything, insofar as this can be known, is to be explained in terms of a transcendent infinitely perfect personal being we call God."--|cProvided by publisher. 545 0 Patrick Masterson is emeritus President and professor of philosophy at University College Dublin. 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 Humanism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85062902 650 0 Scientism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85118695 650 0 Theism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85134626 650 7 Meaning (Philosophy)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1013149 650 7 Humanism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/963520 650 7 Scientism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1108891 650 7 Theism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1149471 650 7 humanism.|2aat 655 7 e-books.|2aat 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMasterson, Patrick.|tIn reasonable hope. |dWashington, D.C. : The Catholic University of America Press, [2021]|z9780813233864|w(DLC) 2020057635 |w(OCoLC)1229148604 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2908293|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
