PHIL 112 Study Guide - Final Guide: Natalie Wood, The Second Sex, Stoicism
Document Summary
What is the meaning of life? this has been one of the major questions of philosophy for centuries; from socrates, plato and aristotle. Although this question seems outdated, in this thesis i am going to be arguing that life has a meaning. My point of view has a few objections, which will be my anti-thesis. I would like to conclude by saying the meaning of life is to give life a meaning. The traditional view of the meaning of life is happiness. Each premise here speaks for itself, there is no hidden meaning behind it. Eudaimonia was the greek word for happiness in english. Happiness is closely related to the feeling of euphoria and that"s not what the greek word refers to. Eudaimonia actually refers to a ourishing life or a richly blessed life by the gods. They can live a respectable and honorable life in society.
