The meaning of life
International journal for philosophy of religion, vol. 51, no. 2, 2002, pp. 71–81
Abstract
The universe, I contend, is a dynamic, creative process working for the fulfillment of its inherent normative structure. It is coming to self-knowledge through human culture. It is achieving a new level of being through the knowledge-based action of human beings. We are partners in the struggle for the realization of what ought to be. One’s life, like a novel, is a structure of meaning. It is meaningful to the extent it is the life that reality requires of one.
