Philosophical and Psychological Ideologies on the Meaning of Life

Philosophers and psychologists have contemplated on the reason for human existence and brought forth their analysis in different forms such as theories, essays, novels and so forth. Each of them has his own set of logic to process the analysis of the given notion. Their personal experiences of life which compelled them to contemplate on purpose of human existence have significant role in their analysis. This chapter traces the contemplation on the meaning of life of some of the prominent philosophers and psychologists in the contemporary era which would depict the general idea of the contemporary secular response to the question of life’s meaning.
