What Is Meaning?

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Listen to the Radio Laureate Interview with Dr. Kevin Sharpe: "The Quest for Meaning."
• Consider the things that create meaning for you in your life.
• Reflect on whether meaning in your life is influenced by spiritual thinking, scientific explanations, both, or neither.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post a 2- to 3-paragraph response deciding whether or nor you believe meaning to be the most essential human element. Analyze which elements of the scientific and/or spirit realm create meaning for your life (or if neither field creates meaning for you, explain why not). Explain how meaning does, or does not, serve as a bridge the realms of science and spirit for you.
