Introduction

This week's Philosophy Bites is about meaning in life with Susan Wolf. To say of someone that they're living a meaningful life, she says, it's not enough that they're happy. Nor does it necessarily mean they're especially moral, devoting their lives to others. Living is a separate category from fulfilment or morality and requires engagement in activities which are objectively valuable. It's not valuable to spend your life in the equivalent of sisyphaean stone pushing.
