The Meaning of Life (S5-E35, Josh Peskin)

Pop, the Question

What is the meaning of life? It’s a question that many (including Monty Python) have asked themselves through the annals of history and, most recently, during a global pandemic. Host Dr. Melinda Lewis evokes a discussion on the topic with Drexel University adjunct professor of philosophy Dr. Josh Peskin, exploring representations in popular film, the power of mindfulness, and the allure of woodworking that has helped Peskin design his life and make sense of the world around us. "Pop, the Question" is a production of Marketing & Media in Pennoni Honors College at Drexel University. Recorded June 29, 2021 through virtual conferencing (Philadelphia, PA, USA).
