What is the meaning of life

Reference no: EM1386601

What is the meaning of life? This is, surely, the ultimate philosophical question. We are here. We spend our days making a living, having a little fun and feeling some pain, meeting people with backgrounds different from our own, caring for some of them, and loving a few. Then we die. How can we make sense of all this? What makes life worth the effort?

Although our attempts to find meaning are personal, thinking carefully about them together can be a wonderful application of our philosophical reasoning skills.
