About
The philosophical exploration of life’s meaning—understood broadly as inquiry into the ultimate value, purpose, and intelligibility of human existence—has been a central concern throughout the history of thought. From classical reflections on the nature of eudaimonia, to medieval and early modern debates about the summum bonum, to contemporary discussions of absurdity, vocation, and existential orientation, the question of what makes life meaningful continues to draw deep and diverse philosophical engagement.
In recent years, this longstanding theme has witnessed a marked resurgence within professional philosophy, generating a rich body of new scholarship across traditions, methodologies, and subfields. The International Conference on Philosophy and Meaning in Life has emerged as the leading global forum for advancing this discourse—bringing together researchers to present original work, foster dialogue, and engage with the latest developments in the field.
