Dr. Rivka Weinberg is a professor of philosophy at Scripps College in Claremont, California. As a philosopher and bioethicist, Dr. Weinberg specializes in ethical and metaphysical issues regarding birth, death, and meaning. Her latest book is The Meaning of It All: Ultimate Meaning, Everyday Meaning, Cosmic Meaning, Death, and Time.

In this episode, we focus on The Meaning of It All. We discuss what the question “What’s the point?” matters. We explore three different kinds of meaning: Everyday Meaning, Cosmic Meaning, and Ultimate Meaning. We discuss the impact of death and time, and whether narratives provide our lives with meaning. We talk about nihilism. Finally, we address a question from a patron of the show.
