Ben Fromson – “You Want It Darker” Valuing life with(out) Faith – Lecture 5

Most people believe that life is worth living and perpetuating, despite the ways in which one may suffer. But what justifies this outlook?

With Leonard Cohen’s final song in hand, we will ask what really keeps life’s flame going.
