From where I sit, "meaning" is something
we ascribe to life, and not an inherent property. That doesn't make attempts to ascribe meaning any less relevant or important.

Thanks. I looked at it on Amazon. Seems to be exactly what I was looking for. TA.

You're welcome. I read it many years ago, and found it a good top level "map", with enough information about the various territories to look for further information on any I found of interest.

Many,
many things aren't available as ebooks. For any random book in question, I assume paper, and am pleasantly surprised if an ebook edition exists.

Or on PG (been 70 years since first printing). I requested it on the Kindle but I don't think they will pay attention unless they get many more requests...

The fact that
first printing was 70 years ago doesn't make it PD. Current US copyright law has it as life plus 70 years. Durant died in 1981...
