Abstract

RAMBU, Nicolae. The axiological bankruptcy of life. Prax. filos. [online]. 2014, n.39, pp.197-208. ISSN 0120-4688.

The meaning of life is not just some ordinary old philosophical problem, but also a practical one that, in some form, everyone wonders about. The whole meaning of life has always been linked with belief in higher values that form the incentive for the spiritual uplift of humanity. Even if spiritual values are illusions, they are absolutely necessary in order to give life meaning. When they disappear, it causes a serious disease of the axiological consciousness of man. The characters that are involved in the cultural stage hosting this drama are the idealist, who sets values as necessary illusions of the human spirit, and the wise man, who shatters any illusion of salvation through faith in values

Keywords : Eudemonology; idealism; the meaning of life.
