What’s the meaning of life?

What’s the meaning of life?

Well uh... I’m probably going to get a ton of backlash and cristian Minecraft server memeing but I’ll, just say it I’m a cristian so my meaning of life is serving god and Jesus Christ, to follow what he put me on this earth to do, and to believe and to come to him someday...

To be a follower of god isn’t hard. All you have to do is believe and inbrace gods will, and heaven will be your new home someday. It’s already waiting for you with open arms ?
 
The meaning of life is a question within questions. The true meaning of life can not be classified in a paragraph, or two, or a million. This "meaning" is what resides within us, the good, the bad, and everything in between. Every action you take is a part of history, no matter how small or big. People often talk about whether in this universe or multiverse if they matter, what they do to impact the existence, and if anyone will remember them. Take r/place, for example, this was a project by Reddit on April first where you can place a pixel of a color every 5 minutes, and you could make art from it. This may seem like a fun experiment but if you watch the timelapse of it, you can see people from all around the world coming together creating and destroying this massive piece of artwork, and nothing on there was left unscathed. This symbolized our creation as a whole. Nothing stays forever, stories will change, people will change, even monuments will change. But that's life, its not just the creation, its the destruction that we call life and death. No matter what religion, race, gender, or time you come from, we can all agree, Life is always changing, for good or bad.

Many major historical figures in philosophy have provided an answer to the question of what, if anything, makes life meaningful, although they typically have not put it in these terms. Consider, for instance, Aristotle on the human function, Aquinas on the beatific vision, and Kant on the highest good. While these concepts have some bearing on happiness and morality, they are straightforwardly construed as accounts of which final ends a person ought to realize in order to have a life that matters. Despite the venerable pedigree, it is only in the last 50 years or so that something approaching a distinct field on the meaning of life has been established in Anglo-American philosophy, and it is only in the last 30 years that debate with real depth has appeared. Concomitant with the demise of positivism and of utilitarianism in the post-war era has been the rise of analytical enquiry into non-hedonistic conceptions of value, including conceptions of meaning in life, grounded on relatively uncontroversial (but not certain or universally shared) judgments of cases, often called “intuitions.” English-speaking philosophers can be expected to continue to find life's meaning of interest as they increasingly realize that it is a distinct topic that admits of rational enquiry to no less a degree than more familiar ethical categories such as well-being, virtuous character, and right action.

This survey critically discusses approaches to meaning in life that are prominent in contemporary Anglo-American philosophical literature. To provide context, sometimes it mentions other texts, e.g., in Continental philosophy or from before the 20th century. However, the central aim is to acquaint the reader with recent analytic work on life's meaning and to pose questions about it that are currently worthy of consideration.

When the topic of the meaning of life comes up, people often pose one of two questions: “So, what is the meaning of life?” and “What are you talking about?” The literature can be divided in terms of which question it seeks to answer. This discussion starts off with works that address the latter, abstract question regarding the sense of talk of “life's meaning,” i.e., that aim to clarify what we are asking when we pose the question of what, if anything, makes life meaningful. Afterward, it considers texts that provide answers to the more substantive question about the nature of meaning as a property. Some accounts of what make life meaningful provide particular ways to do so, e.g., by making certain achievements (James 2005), developing moral character (Thomas 2005), or learning from relationships with family members (Velleman 2005). However, most recent discussions of meaning in life are attempts to capture in a single principle all the variegated conditions that can confer meaning on life. This survey focuses heavily on the articulation and evaluation of these theories of what would make life meaningful. It concludes by examining nihilist views that the conditions necessary for meaning in life do not obtain for any of us, i.e., that all our lives are meaningless.
