It examines the ways in which we overcome the suffering in life by resolving our sense of being divided between them. Singer suggests that the accord between nature and spirit arises from an art of life that affords meaning, happiness, and love by employing the same principles as those that exist in all artistic achievements. It is through the meaningfulness created by imagination and idealization, Singer says, that we make life worth living.This human art form, Singer writes, enables us to unite our selfish interests with our compassionate and loving inclinations. We thereby effect a vital harmonization within which the naturalistic values of ethics, aesthetics, and religion can find their legitimate place. The good life, as envisioned by Singer, includes the love of persons, things, and ideals so intricately intermeshed that the meaning in one contributes to the meaningfulness of the other two. The result is a kind of happiness that we all desire. 001385573 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385573 650_0 $$aLife. 001385573 650_0 $$aMeaning (Philosophy) 001385573 650_0 $$aPhilosophy of nature. 001385573 650_0 $$aSpirit. 001385573 653__ $$aPHILOSOPHY/General 001385573 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385573 852__ $$bebk 001385573 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9780262513586.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385573 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385573 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385573$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385573 980__ $$aBIB 001385573 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385573 982__ $$aEbook 001385573 983__ $$aOnline
