Meaning in Life: Existentialism

How does one create or pursue "meaning IN life" if there is no cosmic "meaning OF life"? Does the absurdity of suffering and banality of repetitive human activities undermine meaning? Akiva Quinn offers perspectives on life as meaningful based on the projects and purposes we each adopt, drawing on existentialist and absurdist thinkers including Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Martin Buber and Viktor Frankl, among others. Akiva explores the extent to which meaning in life may be achieved through any number of personal choices about "what truly matters" to an individual and the possible role of shared moral values in creating and sustaining a life filled with purpose and meaning.
