Meaning in Life
The Creation of Value
Irving Singer
with a new preface by the author
What is meaning in life? Does anything really matter? How can a life achieve lasting significance?
How can we explain the human propensity to struggle for ideals? How is meaning related to
contentment, happiness, joy? Is meaning something we discover, or do we create it? What is the
nature of value, and what are its sources in human experience? Can there be a meaning in life
without religious faith? What is the meaning of death? Is life worth living? What would enable
us to have a love of life?
"Meaning in life," writes philosopher Irving Singer, "and the meaning in our own lives,
results from creative efforts on our part. It is not a prior reality awaiting our discovery. Though
we talk about a 'search' for meaning, what we are seeking is primarily a mode of creativity that
will make our lives tneani igful." In
lhe
Creation o\ Value, the first volume of his Meaning in
l.ijc trilogy, Singer studies the nature of imagination, idealization, and love in the context of
humanity's attempt to define itself through the pursuit of meanings and values that it creates.
Singer confronts life's most troubling problems: the meaning of death, the presence of anxiety in
daily existence, the conditions needed for us to have a life worth living, and the possibility of a
love of lite in others as well as in ourselves.
Irving Singer is Professor or Philosophy at MIT. In addition to his two trilogies,
Tih'
Nature of
Love and Meaning in Life, he is the author of many other books, including
che
recent Philosophy
of Loir:
Λ
Rutili/

as Meaning and Technique; Three Phihsophkal
Filmmaken:
Hitchcock, Welles, Renoir,
Ingmar
Bergman, Cinematic Philosopher: Reflections on
Ни
Creativity, and Cinematic Mythmaking:
Philosophy in Film, all published by the MIT Press.
