The examination of the transcendentals of truth, beauty, and the good in this book emerges from the perspective of Christian humanism, transcending ourselves in moral psychology and perfecting ourselves to attain the good life. These critical approaches are each pertinent to the search for meaning in our lives, which the transcendentals augment. From such a perspective, the book engages in an exploration of the philosophy of culture and religion, which at key points in the discussion draws upon ritual, works of high and especially popular culture.

The truth that moves us closer to discovering meaning and a fuller humanity is largely found in the world and culture that surrounds us and is related to wisdom, which is something that concerns us all.
