The Social Construction of Life Meaning: The 2007 North Carolina Sociological Association Presidential Address
Abstract
With few exceptions, sociologists have not generally explored the topic of meaning-of-life as a whole. For the most part, the topic of meaning in life has been the intellectual domain of philosophers, psychologists, and theologians. However, a uniquely sociological perspective can provide value added insight to this issue.
