The meaning of life is a philosophical
and spiritual
question concerning the significance of life or existence
in general. It can also be expressed in different forms, such as "Why are
we here?", "What is life all about?", and "What is the
purpose of existence?" or even "Does life exist at all?" It has
been the subject of much philosophical, scientific,
and theological
speculation throughout history. There have been a large number of proposed
answers to these questions from many different cultural
and ideological
backgrounds.
The meaning of life is in the philosophical and
religious conceptions of existence, social ties, consciousness,
and happiness,
and borders on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology,
value, purpose, ethics, good and evil,
free will,
the existence of one or multiple gods, conceptions of God, the soul,
and the afterlife.
Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical
facts about the universe,
exploring the context and parameters concerning the 'how' of life. Science also
studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic
approach poses the question "What is the meaning of my life?"
The value of the question pertaining to the purpose of life may coincide with
the achievement of ultimate reality, or a feeling of oneness, or even a feeling of sacredness.
