What's the meaning of life

What's the meaning of life

 

What is the meaning of LIFE ??

This question has come to us at sometime or the other in our life….

Maybe you have ruminated on this question once or twice or maybe more times, depending on how much amount of time you have spent in solitude or maybe the amount of time you have spent feeling distressed or helpless.

Nowadays, as we move ahead in this Space Age with Jet speed, this question comes up more frequently than not in ALL our minds….

Most of the times, we think of the meaning of Life when we feel exhausted running the “rat Race” or when we feel helpless or “alone” amongst all the chaos and sea of humans around us.

Yes…. it is possible to “feel Alone” in a crowd.

But you will be surprised to know that the Origin of this Question “what is the meaning of Life?” originates back to the times when the Human Brain started understanding logic and reason. This question was one of the root factors responsible for the “evolution” of Humankind.

“What is the meaning of Life?” prompted Humans to develop or form religions, beliefs, societies, etc. and it gave birth in Humans the NEED or the DESIRE to become or lead a much more happy and fruitful life.

There have been many philosophers, some famous and some not so famous, who have formed a particular “school of Thought” based on their interpretations or beliefs on “what is the meaning of Life?”

Let us look at some of those “school of Thoughts” which are seen even in today’s age and have religious followers among them.

1) Platonism - “learn more.”

Platonism is the belief that physical objects are impermanent representations of unchanging Ideas, and that the Ideas alone give true knowledge as they are known by the mind.

Platonism is the view that there exist such things as abstract objects — where an abstract object is an object that does not exist in space or time and which is therefore entirely non-physical and non-mental.

Plato contends that the good life is lived by fulfilling the natural function that all things possess. Plato believed that any object, animal or man has a natural function. Discovering that function is the first step in living the good life, and it is followed by acting on that function.

2) Aristotelianism - “be good.”

It is commonly thought that virtues, according to Aristotle, are habits and that the good life is a life of mindless routine.

These interpretations of Aristotle's ethics are the result of imprecise translations from the ancient Greek text. Aristotle uses the word hexis to denote moral virtue.

3) Cynicism - “be self-sufficient.”

Cynicism is an ancient Greek ethical doctrine which holds that the purpose of life is to live a life of Virtue in agreement with Nature (which calls for only the bare necessities required for existence).

It offered people the possibility of happiness and freedom from suffering in an age of uncertainty.

Thus a Cynic has no property and rejects all conventional values of money, fame, power and reputation. None of this meant that a Cynic would retreat from society. Cynics were in fact to live in the full glare of the public's gaze and be quite indifferent in the face of any insults which might result from their unconventional behaviour.

4) Hedonism - “have pleasure now.”

Hedonism is The theory that happiness should be pursued (that pleasure should be pursued and pain should be avoided).

Ethical hedonism is the idea that all people have the right to do everything in their power to achieve the greatest amount of pleasure possible to them.

Hedonists believe that there are only two motivators of human action, pleasure and pain, and that decisions should only be made that further our pleasurable experiences and minimize or completely eliminate our painful ones.

An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation states in it's book, “Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain, and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do”

5) Epicureanism - “free yourself from pain now.”

Epicurus believed that what he called "pleasure" was the greatest good, and the way to attain such pleasure was to live modestly, to gain knowledge of the workings of the world, and to limit one's desires.

This would lead one to attain a state of tranquility and freedom from fear as well as an absence of bodily pain. The combination of these two states constitutes happiness in its highest form.

Epicureanism emphasizes the neutrality of the gods, that they do not interfere with human lives.

It states that Gods, matter, and souls are all made up of atoms. Souls are made from atoms, and gods possess souls, but their souls adhere to their bodies without escaping. Humans have the same kind of souls, but the forces binding human atoms together do not hold the soul forever.

6) Stoicism - “be logical, don't suffer.”

Stoicism is predominantly a philosophy of personal ethics which is informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world.

According to its teachings, as social beings, the path to happiness for humans is found in accepting that which we have been given in life, by not allowing ourselves to be controlled by our desire for pleasure or our fear of pain, by using our minds to understand the world around us and to do our part in nature's plan, and by working together and treating others in a fair and just manner.

They thought that the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person said but how that person behaved.

Stoicism teaches the development of self-control and fortitude as a means of overcoming destructive emotions; the philosophy holds that becoming a clear and unbiased thinker allows one to understand the universal reason.

7) Classical Liberalism - “defend individual liberty.”

Classical liberals believe that individuals are "egoistic, coldly calculating, essentially inert and atomistic"and that society is no more than the sum of its individual members.

Classical liberalism is a political ideology that values the freedom of individuals — including the freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and markets — as well as limited government.

8) Kantianism - “do as you’d have others do (your duty).”

Kantianism is based on the view that the only intrinsically good thing is a good will; an action can only be good if its maxim – the principle behind it – is duty to the moral law.

Kant began his ethical theory by arguing that the only virtue that can be unqualifiedly good is a good will.

No other virtue has this status because every other virtue can be used to achieve immoral ends (the virtue of loyalty is not good if one is loyal to an evil person, for example).

The good will is unique in that it is always good and maintains its moral value even when it fails to achieve its moral intentions.

9) Nihilism - “do anything (life has no meaning).”

Nihilism is the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless. It is the belief that nothing in the world has a real existence.

Nihilism argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Nihilism is a form of skepticism in which all knowledge is accepted as being possibly untrue or as being unable to be confirmed true.

Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated.

It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence.

A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy.

10) Pragmatism - “bring the most good to humans.”

Pragmatism is an approach that evaluates theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application.

Pragmatism considers thought an instrument or tool for prediction, problem solving and action, and rejects the idea that the function of thought is to describe, represent, or mirror reality.

Pragmatists contend that most philosophical topics—such as the nature of knowledge, language, concepts, meaning, belief, and science—are all best viewed in terms of their practical uses and successes.

The philosophy of pragmatism “emphasizes the practical application of ideas by acting on them to actually test them in human experiences”.

It is An approach to philosophy, primarily held by American philosophers, which holds that the truth or meaning of a statement is to be measured by its practical (i.e., pragmatic) consequences.

11) Theism - “follow God’s will.”

The term theism derives from the Greek theos meaning "god". belief in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe.

Theism is the belief in the existence of one or more divinities or deities (gods), which are both immanent (i.e. they exist within the universe) and yet transcendent (i.e. they surpass, or are independent of, physical existence).

12) Existentialism - “make decisions and be positive.”

Existentialism is a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will.

Existentialism in the broader sense is a 20th century philosophy that is centered upon the analysis of existence and of the way humans find themselves existing in the world.

The notion is that humans exist first and then each individual spends a lifetime changing their essence or nature.

In simpler terms, existentialism is a philosophy concerned with finding self and the meaning of life through free will, choice, and personal responsibility.

It is the view that humans define their own meaning in life, and try to make rational decisions despite existing in an irrational universe. It focuses on the question of human existence, and the feeling that there is no purpose or explanation at the core of existence.

It holds that, as there is no God or any other transcendent force, the only way to counter this nothingness (and hence to find meaning in life) is by embracing existence.

13) Absurdism - “stop making sense of life. Just live.”

Absurdism is the belief that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. The efforts of humanity to find inherent meaning will ultimately fail (and hence are absurd) because the sheer amount of information as well as the vast realm of the unknown make total certainty impossible.

Absurdism arises out of the fundamental disharmony between the individual's search for meaning and the meaninglessness of the universe. A

s beings looking for meaning in a meaningless world, humans have three ways of resolving the dilemma, which are Suicide (or, "escaping existence"), Religious, spiritual, or abstract belief in a transcendent realm, being, or idea and Acceptance of the Absurd.

14) Humanism - “Act in self-interest and common good.”

Humanism is a rationalist outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters.

Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and generally prefers critical thinking and evidence (rationalism, empiricism) over acceptance of dogma or superstition.

Humanism commonly used as a synonym for philanthropy – or kindness and benevolence toward one's fellow human beings. human interests, values and dignity predominate.

It has an ultimate faith in humankind, believes that human beings possess the power or potentiality of solving their own problems, through reliance primarily upon reason and scientific method applied with courage and vision.

It is an optimistic attitude to life whose ultimate goal is human flourishing and doing good and living well in the here and now, and leaving the world better for those who come after.

15) Logical Positivism - “life has no meaning until you give it one.”

Logical Positivism states that the ultimate basis of knowledge rests upon public experimental verification or confirmation rather than upon personal experience.

As per Logical Positivism, metaphysical doctrines are not false but meaningless—that the “great unanswerable questions” about substance, causality, freedom, and God are unanswerable just because they are not genuine questions at all.

Logical Positivism is a 20th century philosophical movement holding that all meaningful statements are either analytic or conclusively verifiable or at least confirmable by observation and experiment and that metaphysical theories are therefore strictly meaningless.

16) Natural Pantheism - “care for nature.”

The word Pantheism comes from two Greek words "pan" = all + "theos" = god. In Pantheism, "all is god."

Pantheism believes in the "opinion of those who believe in no other eternal being but the universe."

Nature is all there is, and we are part of Nature. Everything that we are and do is fully encompassed in Nature – there are no supernatural beings, forces or realms. There are phenomena that we do not yet understand, but that doesn’t mean they are supernatural.

Naturalistic pantheism is a philosophical viewpoint and/or spiritual path which identifies the Universe with god.

The word “god”, however, is used as a metaphor for the beauty of nature or for nature itself, pointing out that it’s worthy of reverence. It’s not used to denote a real, transcendent being, such as the christian God.

17) Mohism - “love people impartially.”

Mohism promotes a philosophy of impartial caring; that is, a person should care equally for all other individuals, regardless of their actual relationship to him or her.

In Mohism, morality is defined not by tradition and ritual, but rather by a constant moral guide. In relationships, one should always seek to benefit others. Wasteful luxury and useless expenditures must be eliminated in order to have more resources to devote to the welfare of the people.

Mohism believes in Seeking always to bring wealth to the people and order to society. Since Heaven rewards those who obey its intention and punishes those who defy it, people should always strive to be humane and do what is right.

The essence of Mohist philosophy was the search for objective moral standards by which to guide action and reform society.

18) Confucianism - “Live an ordinary life.”

In Confucianism, particular emphasis is laid on the importance of the family and social harmony, rather than on an otherworldly source of spiritual values, the core of Confucianism is humanistic.

Confucianism regards the ordinary activities of human life — and especially in human relationships as a manifestation of the sacred,because they are the expression of our moral nature.

Confucianism rests on the belief that human beings are fundamentally good, and teachable, improvable, and perfectible through personal and communal endeavor especially self-cultivation and self-creation.

Confucian thought focuses on the cultivation of virtue and maintenance of ethics. Confucianism revolves around the pursuit of the unity of the self and Heaven, and the relationship of humankind to the Heaven.

19) Legalism - “learn practical things.”

Legalism is a Classical Chinese philosophy that emphasizes the need for order above all other human concerns.

The Legalists believed that political institutions should be modeled in response to the realities of human behaviour and that human beings are inherently selfish and short-sighted. Thus social harmony cannot be assured through the recognition by the people of the virtue of their ruler, but only through strong state control and absolute obedience to authority.

The legalist concept of human nature is that it is innately self-interested and that everyone acts according to one principle: avoiding punishment while simultaneously trying to achieve gains.

Thus, the law must severely punish any unwanted action, while at the same time rewarding those who follow it.

20) Utilitarianism - “you get what you give.”

Utilitarianism is the sum of all pleasure that results from an action, minus the suffering of anyone involved in the action.

It is the consequences of any action are the only standard of right and wrong. when choosing the most moral action, virtue is in proportion to the number of people a particular action brings happiness to.

In the same way, moral evil, or vice, is proportionate to the number of people made to suffer. The best action is the one that procures the greatest happiness of the greatest numbers—and the worst is the one that causes the most misery.

Utilitarians believe that the purpose of morality is to make life better by increasing the amount of good things (such as pleasure and happiness) in the world and decreasing the amount of bad things (such as pain and unhappiness).

Utilitarians think that what makes a morality be true or justifiable is its positive contribution to human (and perhaps non-human) beings.

21) Cyrenaicism - “live in the present and seek maximum pleasure in the NOW.”

Cyrenaicism thought held that pleasure was the supreme good in life, especially physical pleasure, which they thought more intense and more desirable than mental pleasures.

Pleasure is the only good in life and pain is the only evil.

Cyrenaicism deduces a single, universal aim for all people which is pleasure.

Furthermore, all feeling is momentary and homogeneous. It follows that past and future pleasure have no real existence for us. Momentary pleasure, preferably of a physical kind, is the only good for humans.

The wise person should be in control of pleasures rather than be enslaved to them, otherwise pain will result, and this requires judgement to evaluate the different pleasures of life.

They believe that all that we have access to as a potential source of knowledge are our own experiences. These experiences are private to each of us.

After all that is said and done, in the end, what matters is what according to YOU is the meaning of Life ??? what thought resonates with your TRUE INNER CALLING, or in other words, what give meaning to YOUR life…. Just close your eyes…. Think of it and FOLLOW YOUR HEART...and CREATE your own UNIQUE meaning of Life...
