Meaninglessness: The Solutions of Nietzsche, Freud and Rorty
Michael Casey

"A world without meaning - a world without windows and doors - is uncomfortable, then stifling, and finally dehumanising. Dissecting the modern academic penchant for declaring our world inherently 'meaningless,' Michael Casey points the way toward a truer, nobler humanism". (George Weigel, Senior Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Centre, Washington DC).
