Meanwhile, some philosophers have argued that meaningfulness depends on life’s temporal finitude.</p><p class="xp3" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(97, 97, 97); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8;">Can the physics or philosophy of time help us make sense of our own and other people’s mortality? Can the ways we create meaning in life inform our experience of time in turn? What is meaningfulness, anyway? Loving relationships and friendships are often said to be essential to it. But love is also quite puzzling from a philosophical perspective. Is it an emotion, or something else? Is it inherently irrational? And which kinds of things and entities are worthy of it in the first place?</p><p class="xp3" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(97, 97, 97); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8;">Everyone is welcome, but registration is required.</p><p class="xp3" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(97, 97, 97); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8;">Further details on the event and how to register are at the link below. </p></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div style="display: block;"><div style="-webkit-user-select: all; -webkit-user-drag: element; display: inline-block;" class="apple-rich-link" draggable="true" role="link" data-url="https://soh-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/phil-oct-17-2023/"><a style="border-radius:10px;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;display:block;-webkit-user-select:none;width:300px;user-select:none;-webkit-user-modify:read-only;user-modify:read-only;overflow:hidden;text-decoration:none;" class="lp-rich-link" rel="nofollow" href="https://soh-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/phil-oct-17-2023/" dir="ltr" role="button" draggable="false" width="300"><table style="table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;width:300px;background-color:#E5E6E9;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="lp-rich-link-emailBaseTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300"><tbody><tr><td vertical-align="center"><table bgcolor="#E5E6E9" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300" style="font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;table-layout:fixed;background-color:rgba(229, 230, 233, 1);" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:8px 0px 8px 0px;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStackItem"><div style="max-width:100%;margin:0px 16px 0px 16px;overflow:hidden;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:500;font-size:12px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;text-align:left;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-topCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://soh-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/phil-oct-17-2023/" style="text-decoration: none" draggable="false"><font color="#272727" style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.847059);">2023 Anderson Fellows Philosophy Lecture: “Love, death and the meaning of life” – School of Humanities</font></a></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:400;font-size:11px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;text-align:left;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-bottomCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://soh-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/phil-oct-17-2023/" style="text-decoration: none" draggable="false"><font color="#808080" style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.498039);">soh-events.sydney.edu.au</font></a></div></div></td><td style="padding:6px 12px 6px 0px;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIconItem" width="36"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://soh-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/phil-oct-17-2023/" draggable="false"><img style="pointer-events:none !important;display:inline-block;width:36px;height:36px;border-radius:3px;" width="36" height="36" draggable="false" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIcon" alt="Uni-Sydney-logo.png" src="cid:D2131DE5-440D-4D32-AA0F-7A2A699DA406"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div>
