zh:生命的意義
The meaning of life constitutes a philosophical question concerning the purpose and significance of human existence. This concept can be expressed through a variety of related questions, such as Why are we here?, What's life all about? and What is the meaning of it all? It has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history. There have been a large number of answers to these questions from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds. Albert Camus observed,
we humans are creatures who spend our lives trying to convince ourselves
that our existence is not absurd. [1]
- 生命的意義是一個解構人類存在的目的與意義的哲學問題。這個概念通過許多相關問題體現出來,例如:「我為何在此」「什麼是生命?」「生命的真諦是什麼?」。在歷史長河中,它也是哲學,科學以及神學一直所思索的主題。前人在不同的文化環境與意識形態背景下也給出了很多的多元化答案。阿爾貝·加繆指出,作為一個存在的人,人類用生命的價值和意義來說服自己:人的存在不是荒誕的。

The meaning of life is deeply mixed with the philosophical and religious conceptions of existence, consciousness, and happiness, and touches on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, conceptions of God, the existence of God, the soul and the afterlife. Scientific contributions are more indirect; by describing the empirical facts about the universe, science provides some context and sets parameters for conversations on related topics. An alternative, human-centric, and not a cosmic/religious approach is the question "What is the meaning of my life?" The value of the question pertaining to the purpose of life may be considered to be coincidal with the achievement of ultimate reality, if that is believed by one to exist.
