Meaning in Life Issues

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

Ondertitel:Sense or Inspiring at the Limits of Thought
This article introduces a novel aspect of meaning in life issues that bears
on the experience of sense that is inspiring at the limits of thought. The author draws on French continental philosophers considering their language an appropriate vehicle to indicate how this experience differs from mainstream
theories and what is distinctive about it. Also, because their knowledge and background understanding is shared only by a limited number of specialists, Ayn Rand’s notion of “sense in life” is employed as a stepping stone. This approach allows outlining an initial understanding of what is meant by a sense that is
inspiring at the limits of thought. Finally, it is suggested to incorporate this new perspective into current theories so as to make for a broader and more in-depth
overall comprehension of what constitutes meaning in life.
