“I think that we all at some point are in search of something - a higher power, whatever you want to call it, the meaning of life. I know I was, especially at even my son's age in my 20s, and dabbling in Eastern philosophies and yoga and Buddhism and Christianity and Islam. I kind of touched them all, you know, just trying to figure out the meaning of life or if nothing else, figure myself out.” IfsThinkingKnowsWantTryingKindPhilosophyAgeChristianityFiguresSonBuddhismHigherYogaIslamMeaning Of LifeTouchedMy SonEasternHigher PowerEastern PhilosophyChristianity And IslamDabblingBuddhism And Christianity Author:Denzel Washington
“Above all else, philosophy ought to aim for clarification - of the self, one's place in the world, and the ways we make meaning. Philosophy, when practiced well, can be useful. It can enable us to grapple in productive ways with questions about the meaning of life and who I am and how I want to be in the world.” WorldWayWantWellsSelfPhilosophyOughtAimWho I AmMeaning Of LifeProductivePlaces In The WorldClarification Author:Peg O'Connor
“In vain do science and philosophy pose as the arbiters of the human mind, of which they are in fact only the servants. Religion has provided a conception of life, and science travels in the beaten path. Religion reveals the meaning of life, and science only applies this meaning to the course of circumstances.” MindHumansPhilosophyFactsReligionCoursesPathCircumstancesVainServantMeaning Of LifeHuman MindConceptionBeatenArbiterScience And PhilosophyBeaten Path Book:My Religion Source: My Religion

“For me philosophy begins with these experiences of disappointment: a disappointment at the level of what I would think of as "meaning," namely that, given that there is no God, what is the meaning of life? And, given that we live in an unjust world, how are we to bring about justice?” ThinkingWorldPhilosophyGivenJusticeLevelsDisappointmentMeaning Of LifeUnjustThere Is No GodWhat Is The Meaning Of LifeWhat Is The Meaning Author:Simon Critchley
“In my philosophy, the meaning of life derives from the people one has known and loved. I have met my share of evil people and know what they are capable of - I was at the liberation of Dachau - but I have always held that evil is not inherent in men and women. I still believe that within a caring society, only the best people will flourish. That is the spirit that has moved me to photograph.” PeopleKnowsMenBelieveStillsPhilosophySpiritEvilKnownShareMetsCapableMen And WomenMovedPhotographCaringLiberationMeaning Of LifeInherentI Still BelieveEvil PeopleDachau Author:Walter Rosenblum
