By means of trying to droop ethical, ideological, or mental assumptions, a phenomenological interpretation of literature hopes to arrive "the issues themselves," the basic phenomena of being, house, and time, as they're constituted, via realization, in phrases. even if there was a practice of phenomenological feedback in Europe for the final two decades, David Halliburton is the 1st to put in writing a normal research of an American writer from this actual viewpoint.

NBERG DAVID GRU ` -V IS THE CHALLENGES THE MEANING OF LIFE V IS-A OF THE PRESENT-DAY WORLD * In this paper we shall try to answer the question of what is, or rather could be the meaning of human life in the face of the challenges of the present-day world. ) is still the fate of a very large part of the human population of the present-day world. There are two main attitudes toward the problem of the meaning of worldly life: pessimism and optimism, the former being the view that life is not worth living whereas the latter that it is so.
One’s life may be more (or less) happy than another’s. From now on we shall use ‘‘happy’’ only in the sense of relative happiness. Notice that pessimism involves the assumption that happiness is absolute rather than relative. Normal persons, especially those who do not suffer mental depression, do pursue ends, and often have a life plan so that they have a meaningful life. This is a fact about men. Let us say then that a life in this sense is de facto meaningful. On the other hand, it is surely desirable that one’s life be not merely de facto meaningful but also a valuable one.
Of course this also promotes our chance of being happy. Happiness, therefore, consists ultimately in the harmony within the satisfaction of our desires as well as between our feelings of pleasure and joy, which prevail over endured feelings of pain and sorrow. The problem is whether and how such a harmony is realizable. This will be dealt with in the rest of the paper. 22 Chance can be interpreted as the totality of external (natural and social) factors influencing the person’s life, innate disposition as the sum of the person’s abilities (especially excellences and virtues), and action as the person’s purposeful activities (especially those which are creative).
