Unthinkable: Tom Inglis

from The Irish Times

Joe Humphreys meets Prof Tom Inglis of University College Dublin, whose latest book, Meanings of Life in Contemporary Ireland, tests the long-standing church theory that you need faith to provide ballast, or a purpose, to your life. He interviewed 100 people for the book, exploring what gave their life meaning, and while he doesn’t claim the study is representative, he says it is illustrative of the way in which Ireland is going.
