What Makes a Life Meaningful

Dr. Joshua Seachris, professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and a leading scholar on the meaning of life, religious experience, and human flourishing, joins Scottie to ask what it actually means to live a meaningful life — and whether that is possible for everyone, regardless of circumstance.

They talk about where the drive to ask life’s biggest questions comes from, what a meta-narrative is, how to sit with doubt without abandoning the search, and whether meaning is created or discovered. Josh also opens up about his son’s rare genetic diagnosis and what it has taught him about whether a meaningful life is equally accessible to all.
