About the work
This is the most difficult question posed by philosophers, at different times: What is the meaning of human life? It calls for reflection on the great existential mysteries, raising several questions about the origin, purpose and destiny of humanity. Although there isn´t an exact answer to this concern, considering that the meaning of human life is extremely difficult to determine, and at the same time, it has two components (general, established by the Creator, and particular, delimited by each one).
Throughout history, Greek philosophers, religious, theologians, modern philosophers, psychologists, psychiatrists, academics and researchers have sought to discover the meaning of human life. Currently, three points of view predominate:
1. The human life has a meaning.
2. The human life has no meaning.
3. The human life can have a meaning (intermediate).
Masterfully, Dr. Viktor Frankl endorsed the first hypothesis and also presented compelling arguments to reject the last two statements, being the only researcher who has given satisfactory explanations on this subject.
Finally, the greatest challenge for any human being is to discover the meaning of his own existence, which will allow him to enjoy a satisfactory life, in accordance with the fulfillment of a mission of missions, immersed in a relevant existential purpose. To-date, this defiance is more complicated than in other times, whereas postmodern thinking denies that human life has any meaning.

Title Discovering the Meaning of Life in a Postmodern World
