Is there any meaning in life? If so\, how can we find it? Can life be meaningful if death is the ultimate end of our existence? How is meaning related to well-being and happiness? What are the moral implications of philosophical debates on meaning in life? Can life be objectively meaningful\, or can it only be subjectively meaningful? Is there any link between religious faith and meaning? What do we mean by &lsquo\;meaning&rsquo\; in the first place?</p>\n<p>The aim of the conference is to address these fundamental questions from a wide range of philosophical perspectives. Potential topics could include\, but not be limited to: philosophical approaches to meaning in/of life\; the relationship between death and meaning\; anti-natalism and nihilism\; procreation\; spiritual\, religious and psychological implications of meaning\; metaphysical and epistemological issues concerning meaning\; meaning in applied ethics\, bioethics and environmental ethics\; meaning in religious and philosophical traditions around the world\; implications of meaning for health.</p>\n<p><strong>Call for papers:</strong></p>\n<p>We invite submissions concerning meaning in/of life as considered in the field of philosophy.
