Humanity throughout time has been unable to escape the quest for meaning. The

existentialists claim that there is no external meaning in the universe except absurdity or whatever meaning a person may choose to impute to it; the cosmos of itself has no meaning. The postmodernist hold that knowledge is a social construction. The pragmatist claims that the ultimate meaning of existence is beyond us and that philosophers must not make factual statements that cannot be validated by the experience of their senses. Meanwhile the analytic philosopher claims that metaphysical statements are meaningless and that people must seek to define ever more clearly, the words and concepts of their immediate environment.

What do you believe? Do you support any of the above positions? Is the quest for meaning useless? Do you think there a connection between the search for meaning and Luke 10:27?
