Meaning, desire, and the limits of atheism

Fiona Ellis

Abstract

This paper defends a theistic framing of the problem of life’s meaning, albeit one which is intended to be compatible with a kind of naturalism. It makes explicit the significance of desire for an understanding of the issues at hand and draws out some implications for the question of the limits of atheism.
