This is the same as asking: How does one give meaning to one's life? How can one justify one's existence and make it worthwhile?\u003cbr\u003eHow does one make experience valuable, and keep growing and learning in the process - and through this learning acquire a degree of understanding of oneself and the world?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA civilised society is one which never ceases debating with itself about what human life should best be. Some would, with justice, say that if we want ours to be such a society we must all contribute to that discussion.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is, with appropriate diffidence, such a contribution. It consists of a collection of Grayling's regular 'Last Word' columns in the Guardian. This time topics include Suicide, Deceit, Luxury, Profit, Marriage, Meat-eating, Liberty, Slavery, Protest, Guns and War.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47251192545442,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/71DxpH_UXOL._SY342.jpg?v=1778231008","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/the-reason-of-things-by-a-c-grayling","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
