The Meaning of Meaning w/Dr. John Trapani

The Apex Podcast

In this podcast episode, Jan and Jacob interview Dr. John Trapani Jr. Dr. Trapani was a professor of philosophy at Walsh University for 40+ years. He served as chair of the Philosophy Department and Humanities Division, along with founding and directing the University’s annual Philosophy-Theology Symposium which hosted conversations for over 40 years.

John received his B.A. from Boston College and his Ph.D. from St. John’s University.

In this episode, Dr. Trapani discusses the differences between ancient and modern definitions of words: happiness, meaning, and love.

We explore questions such as…

Why is it so hard to find happiness in today's world?

How has the definition of “love” changed over time?

What is “meaning” and where does it come from?
