What Is The Meaning And Purpose Of Life?

Is the ultimate goal of life happiness? Is it to adhere to religious scripture? Is life meaningful at all?

The philosophical concept of 'life's meaning' explores the purpose and significance of human existence, often questioning the nature of reality, values, and the human condition. From an existentialist viewpoint, nihilistic and absurdist perspectives are drawn to presume that while life may objectively be meaningless, individuals are still capable of creating their own meaning and essence through choices and actions. Alternatively, Stoicism emphasizes finding meaning through acceptance and duty, while Aristotelianism holds that happiness (eudaimonia), achieved through virtue and the fulfillment of one's potential, is the ultimate goal of life.
