This book is a collection of all the papers and the essay published in the special issue “Philosophy and Meaning in Life Vol.3,” Journal of Philosophy of Life, Vol.11, No.1, 2021, pp.1-154. We held the Third International Conference on Philosophy and Meaning in Life online at the University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK, on July 21–23, 2020. This conference was co-hosted by the Birmingham Centre for Philosophy of Religion, and the Waseda Institute of Life and Death Studies. We accepted about 50 presentations from around the world. Professor Lisa Bortolotti and I gave keynote lectures. After the conference, we called for papers for publication from the speakers, and we accepted seven papers and an essay for the special issue of the Journal of Philosophy of Life. We would like to give special thanks to the anonymous referees who kindly reviewed the submitted manuscripts. The accepted papers deal with a variety of topics, such as the subjective/objective debate, narrative meaning, Simone de Beauvoir, and Alain Badiou, and they are all discussed from the perspective of the philosophy of meaning in life.

This paper focuses on the work of Susan Wolf’s conception of meaning in life, particularly on the notion of objective value in her account. To Wolf, objective value has no substantial content, but objectivity only refers to values shared by a larger community. I claim that it is possible to reach a deeper understanding of a perceived or imagined value outside oneself in non-substantial terms when employing some of Levinas and Derrida’s observations as heuristic tools.
‘I think there is a place both inside and outside religion for a sort of contemplation of the Good, not just by dedicated experts but by ordinary people: an attention which is not just the planning of particular good actions, but an attempt to look right away from Self towards a distant transcendent perfection, a source of uncontaminated energy, a source of new and quite undreamt-of virtue. This is the true mysticism, which is morality’ […]’ Referring to Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being’ dealing with the main thought ‘’each man has only one life to live’, a life in which that what occurs, occurs only once and so forth never again hence imposing a certain unbearable lightness on being, this essay explores its ‘bearable’ potential; a Modeless Mode of Being in which particular being, self-being, has been transcended. A Modeless Mode of Being, a ‘Zensory’ Being in which The Good can be grasped according to Christian mystic Meister Eckhart. Opposed to Nietzsche’s concept of eternal recurrence - associated with the thought the universe and its events have already occurred and will recur ad infinitum, imposing a certain ‘heaviness’ on one’s being - Kundera’s concept of lightness underlines the rather insignificance of one’s being - for decisions do not matter and are therefore perceived light not causing personal suffering. On the other hand this insignificance of one’s being is causing suffering in the awareness of the transience of life occurring once and never again: an existential lightness becoming unbearable for Man generally wishing his being to have transcendent meaning. The unbearableness lies in the attachment to the value of one’s individual life lived by ‘self’ and it is the letting-go of this attachment, a detachment, which generates the transcendent meaning or significance Man would search for; his mystical nature, generating a ‘bearable’ lightness of his being. Functioning as a metaphor to pave the path towards what could be perceived as the ‘Holy Grail’ of morality, grasping it’s true mystical nature, Kundera’s idea of lightness will be perceived from its other side. A contemplation of the Good by looking away from self towards a distant transcendent perfection, towards a new source of virtue, a viewpoint expressed by moral philosopher Iris Murlock – in favor of the use of metaphors herself - and quoted above. It is the mystical nature of morality, a contemplation of Good following Murdoch, this essay attempts to explore in larger depths by traveling through the mindscape of Christian mystic Meister Echkart and his doctrine of redemption, wherein the human being becomes a Homo Divinus, an incarnation of the Divine or God , the Godhead. Since Murdoch has stated a contemplation of the Good would be possible for her both inside and outside religion, the choice for Eckharts’s mystical doctrine rooted in Christianity could be considered an extra validation regarding its use. The question why an exploration of the mystical nature of morality would matter should be understand in the context of Murdoch’s stating moral philosophers should attempt to answer the question: how can one make oneself better ? If life would occur once and never again, as Kundera presupposes, there would be no higher improvement of one’s being than by perfecting it and it is the perfection of virtue, a contemplation of the Good, grasping it’s mystical nature, which could be considered it’s glorious finish. According to Murdoch it is one’s task to come to see the world as it is and in order to do so, Man has to sacrifice all to come to this essence. This is what the mystic attempts, to dis-cover the Essence of Being.
