On The Question of Meaning of Life

Abstract

Grappling with the question of the meaning of life is indeed intriguing. Prima facie it seems to appear that the question is a simple one and answers to this question can be attempted from different perspectives - e. g. theistic angle, naturalistic standpoint and so on. However, in contemporary times many thinkers have engaged themselves with the issue which was hitherto unknown or unthought-of. These thinkers could realize that without understanding the question itself and the intricacies of it, any attempt to answer this question will be an exercise in futility. Hence, we find a number of contemporary philosophers who took interest in exploring the inside story of the question.
