Drawing from the great writer G.K. Chesterton, Brady Stiller identifies four dominant philosophical positions on meaning in our day--determinism, existentialism, skepticism, and nihilism--and evaluates their answers to these ultimate questions, and how they fall short. Evoking Chesterton's notion of paradox, Stiller proposes a philosophical position more true to reality--namely, that the meaning of life is both objective and subjective at the same time. By viewing life as a story with both determined and undetermined aspects, we are equipped to coauthor our stories with the divine author, discovering our role in the grand drama of creation.
