VITAL HERMENEUTICS

The Problem of Meaning in Life and its Relation to Religion

Abstract

Paradoxical though it may seem to us, if the dramatist—poet were in fact right, he would never have considered these lines worth writing. Philosophically speaking, the negation of meaning of life entails an inherent contradiction, as even its meaninglessness demands a meaningful expression. This essay •:is a modest attempt to discuss the vital problem of meaning in life and the relation it bears to religion.
