Meaning of Life by Anthony Kronman
   heroic they may be? Is the meaning of life internal to life, to be
   found in a realm somehow outside of life, but to which life leads? In
   that there is a realm to which life leads after death. Our life on
   makes life worth living?”. There are any number of subjective answers
   creator. It is a matter of debate whether this would make life a thing
   why does there have to be a purpose to life separate from those
   purposes generated within it? The idea that life needs no external

   this balance maturity. Surely the goal or meaning of human life is
   meaning associated with life other than that acquired by our
   memes (units of culture). The meanings we believe life to have are then
   The meaning of life for individuals may diminish or fade as a
   might, sadly, be difficult to see any meaning of life at all. The
   meaning is also likely to change from one phase of life to another, due
   modern lives. All that’s left is simply existence. Life is existence:
   life in a way which brings them as much fulfilment and contentment as
   is a life which contains as great an excess of pleasure over pain as
   possible, or alternatively, a life in which as least time as possible
   The meaning of life is not being dead.
   The question is tricky because of its hidden premise that life has
   purpose? I might decide to dedicate my life to answering this
   meaningless life with purpose? Or shall meaning be defined by purpose?
   One thing one can hardly fail to notice about life is that it is
   self-perpetuating. Palaeontology tells us that life has been
   stunning success? Through natural selection, life forms adapt to their
   evolution, the very essence of life (its meaning?) is the pursuit of
   perpetuated. Life is tried and proven knowledge that has withstood the
   knowledge as a possible meaning of one’s life seems, literally, a
   Life is a stage and we are the actors, said William Shakespeare,
   possibly recognizing that life quite automatically tells a story just
   the ongoing play. Life is therefore storytelling. So the meaning of
   life is like the meaning of ‘the play’ in principle: not a single play

   meaningful purpose. But with liberty life is a joy. Therefore liberty
   The meaning of life is understood according to the beliefs that people
   arbitrary. If the meaning of life is wanted, a meaning that will
   set aside. Otherwise, the meaning of life could not be determined.
   Objectively however, life has no meaning because meaning or
   themselves, are silent as to what they mean. Life consists of a series
   for many the meaning of life is nothing.
   Surely, however, life means something. And indeed it does when an
   another way, the meaning of life is an individual’s acts of creation.

   conspire to improve life and celebrate not only its survival on this
   planet, but also its proliferation. So the purpose of life is just

   way one does. But it puts one in a position to say that one’s life has
   One discovers this meaning or significance by evaluating one’s life and
   about one’s life in a different way. If one doesn’t do this, then one’s
   life has no meaning or significance. And that isn’t because one has the
   Socrates’ famous saying that the unexamined life is not worth living. I
   would venture to say that the unexamined life has no meaning.
   the meaning of life could be to continue the process of evolution. This

   life may be different for each individual and/or each species. The
   truth of the meaning of life is likely in the eye of the beholder.
