The meaning of life –philosophical explorations
Journal Title: KONIŃSKIE STUDIA SPOŁECZNO-EKONOMICZNE - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The answers to the questions of meaning of life give to man integrity, mental stability and serenity, especially nowadays, when man ́s life is marked by social manipulations through information and other technologies, loss of critical judgement, loss of self-reflection ability and by that the ability to create his own meaning of life. It is in crisis situations, when we liberate and distance from the outside pressure to pull ourselves out of theinauthentic way of existenceand realize that life brings options and it depends on us, what we will create from that what was given to us. The answer to the question, what is our meaning of life, we may always find only in the context of time, place, culture, or cultural community, or also in relation to events that we are currently experiencing.
