Meaning Of Humans And The Universe
929 wordsThe Meaning of Life -Opinion My beliefs on the meaning of life in religion and interpretation of such things. In approaching the question of 'the meaning of life' we have to examine the nature of meaning itself. Meaning, is by definition the point, or the intended goal. Consider the point of humans and the universe as seen from monotheistic religion. If life and the universe is some sort of toy or form of entertainment for some greater being, his point, his own entertainment, would then be the m...

Camus Presents Examples Of The Absurd Person
1,809 wordsThe Absurd Hero Sisyphus is the absurd hero. This man, sentenced to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain and then watching its descent, is the epitome of the absurd hero according to Camus.

Meaning To Man's Existence
3,938 wordsMy Personal Search for a Meaningful Existence I am the representative embodiment of my nihilistic culture. I am narcissistic, insatiable, petty, apathetic and I am above all an emotional invalid. Yet, up until very recently, I was not consciously aware that I was guilty of having any of these wholly pejorative attributes, because I had unconsciously suppressed my inherent will to attain a meaningful existence, in favor of the comfort and security that complacency and futility provide. There exis...

Question Of The Meaning Of Life
1,502 wordsThe Meaning of Life The meaning of life, defined by Victor E. Frankl, is the will to find your meaning in life. It is not the meaning of life in general, but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment. He believes that if you are approached with the question of "what is the meaning of my life" or in this case, "life is meaningless", then you should reverse the question to that person asking the question. For example: What are you bringing to me? What are you as an individua...

Moral Views Into Non Existence
777 wordsI'm afraid I find Jimbo's answer less than convincing; and he correctly anticipates that I will charge him with circularity. To begin with, what exactly does it mean to say:" Fundamentally, living entities face a single alternative: existence or non-existence". Is this a disguised value judgment, to the effect that "The most morally significant choice to make is whether to live or to die" (I trust that Jimbo will deny this interpretation, so I move on.) Or is it a descriptive statement to the ef...

Meaning Of Life Beckett Calls Human Existence
1,303 wordsFrankl and Beckett: An Comparison of Existentialism Parallel tracks are not better or worse, merely different. Luke Skywalker A man is running through a tunnel; it is long and dark. He does not remember entering, he does not know when or where the next turn is, yet he proceeds. He proceeds, but to where He has the freedom to choose where to go: the entrance, the end, to backtrack a few paces, or to stay put. Viktor Frankl, author of Man's Search for Meaning and existentialist thinker, would say ...

Science As Being
693 wordsAre You A Man or A Monkey A Disturbing Movement of Anti-Intellectualism in America Its more valuable to see with the eye in ones heart, rather than see with the eye in ones head. The epic crusade of science and technology versus theology, both religions of sorts dating back in time more years than any of us can begin to comprehend. Maybe that is why, as a whole, we have such a difficult time discerning between the two, or rather, why we fail to see clearly the true meaning that lies behind the p...

Existence On The Number
1,193 wordsSam Vaknin's Psychology, Philosophy, Economics and Foreign Affairs Web Sites Knives and forks are objects external to us. They have an objective – or at least an intersubjective – existence. Presumably, they will be there even if no one watches or uses them ever again. We can safely call them "Objective Entities'. Our emotions and thoughts can be communicated – but they are NOT the communication itself or its contents. They are "Subjective Entities', internal, dependent upon th...
