The working title for my thesis is "Meaningful to us, or meaning full stop?". I will be exploring the distinction between the meaning of life and meaning in life through the lens of another distinction: between subjective and objective perspectives. In doing this I intend to bring a clarity to the meaning-in/meaning-of distinction that I do not believe is currently present in the contemporary literature. By understanding and explaining why the meaning-in/meaning-of questions are distinct and operating under different perspectives, I hope to reinstil credibility to the question of the meaning of life in the contemporary analytic sphere.
I am AHRC-funded, have one publication (Fox, J. (2019) Absurd Relations. Human Affairs, 29 (4): 387–394.), and have presented at one conference (Meaning in Life and the Meaning of Life, University of Graz, Austria, June 2019).
