This spirited, stimulating and quirky enquiry takes a close look at the Big Question, and shows how centuries of thinkers and writers - from Marx and Schopenhauer to Shakespeare, Sartre and Beckett - have responded to it.

Terry Eagleton scrutinizes the many different answers that have been proposed, putting under pressure the bland and boring, exploring further the surprising and invigorating.
