This series of 24 accessible lectures explores how some of the greatest thinkers over the past three centuries have pondered the questions surrounding the meaning of human life, guiding listeners through ideas from influential philosophers like Kant, Nietzsche, Sartre, and Foucault. Designed for those without a background in philosophy, these discussions delve into complex concepts with clarity and depth, encouraging personal reflection on life's purpose. While the course does not claim to resolve whether life has an ultimate meaning, it offers a thought-provoking journey into the enduring questions of human existence.
