Meaning and Purpose in an Existentialist Philosophical Perspective: A Philosophical Search for the Formation of Life and Values

Abstract

The processes of developing a sense of self and discovering purpose in life seem to be closely related at first glance. The philosophical investigation explores the complex relationship between character and the changing meanings of life. This research explores the complex nature of life by applying a range of philosophical stances to analyze how conceptions that define a person's identity and character change throughout time. To understand the parallel but distinct histories of identity and meaning, it's helpful to consider how each was introduced to the field as well as the philosophical tenets that differ between them in addition to examining their unique definitions. In my opinion, more successful coordination and integration can be accomplished by gaining a deeper comprehension of the characteristics and backgrounds of the two theories.
