What is the meaning of life? This is perhaps the single most difficult question that every human being faces at some point in their life. Since the dawn of humanity, humans have wondered why I am here? Where have I come from? And what does it mean to be alive? And what is my purpose in life?
Since there was no rational answer, throughout history, humans resorted to religious faith to satisfy this existential dilemma. God was the answer. But modernity came along to question the existence of God. So now it was left to philosophers to come up with a rational answer.
In this video, I will attempt to give you one of the most comprehensive philosophical answer to the question, what is the meaning of life from a more secular, non-religious perspective. Most of these philosophers were atheist, expect one. So the big question is: does philosophy have an answer? Or is philosophy dead wrong about the meaning of life?

Why does anything exist at all?
Please do a video on Emil Cioran next
“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked.
In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life;
to life he can only respond by being responsible.” ― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
Thank you for doing this!
I can't imagine Sisyphus being happy doing a meaningless thing over and over again, unless he's completely lost his mind. I have not read Camus' philosophy books, but I can imagine that his novels are more nuanced. I wondered what a video about literature on the same theme of the meaning of life would be like.
Love the channel!
