Joshua Glasgow works on a wide range of topics in moral and political philosophy, philosophy of race, and value theory. Currently Professor of Philosophy at Sonoma State University, he has also taught at Victoria University of Wellington, University of California Berkeley, and Occidental College. This is his first book about being important. Other books with Oxford University Press include The Solace: Finding Value in Death through Gratitude for Life and Four Views on Race (co-authored).

The Significance Impulse is sharp, entertaining, and original, offering an informed and iconoclastic perspective on nihilism, objectivity, and the meaning of life. It will appeal to anyone who has asked not only, 'Do I really matter?' but also, 'If I don't, what next?'
