SUMMARY:Philosophy and Religion Spring Forum
DESCRIPTION:Life Has Meaning: But You Need to Testify!\nPresented by Jason Burke Murphy\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of Philosophy at Elms College \nEveryone always has a reason to “bet” on life being meaningful. We should “bet” that life is worth the risks and the certain trouble it poses\, even if we have no evidence at hand. Once someone “bets” on life\, they must develop the skills to find what matters. We turn to culture\, society\, and friends to testify to what has worked for them. All of us can appreciate other people’s searches for meaning\, even if we do not share important common beliefs. Crises of meaning are a source of solidarity\, and they are a feature of living well. \nJason Burke Murphy\, PhD\, is an assistant professor of Philosophy at Elms College. He is a fellow at the Centre for Global Cooperation Research at the University of Duisburg/Essen. \nThis event is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public. \nIf you have a disability and require a reasonable accommodation to participate in these events\, please contact Wendy Franz at least two weeks before the event at wfranz@springfield.edu or (413) 748-3646\, to discuss your accessibility needs.
