    “Life has never been normal,” wrote C. S. Lewi “Life has never been normal,” wrote C. S. Lewis in an address to students at the outset of World War II. If we are waiting for a better time to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, we may never get started. In the Young Philosophers series, Gutenberg College opens its (virtual) doors to high-school-age participants for thoughtful online discussion of important ideas.⁠

All but the most hard-core atheists believe, at some level, that life has meaning. But what is it? We will explore the meaning of meaning, why it is so central to our experience, and various approaches toward an answer.⁠

    "Life has never been normal," wrote C. S. Lewis in "Life has never been normal," wrote C. S. Lewis in an address to students at the outset of World War II. If we are waiting for a better time to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, we may never set foot out the door. The work of the philosopher is to seek the truth regardless of circumstances, and one cannot begin it too soon. On July 23, Gutenberg College opens its (virtual) doors to young philosophers for a day of thoughtful discussion about important philosophical ideas.⁠
