Finding Meaning In A Meaningless World

We live in a time when meaning and purpose feel harder to grasp than ever. Modern relativism reduces beauty, goodness, and worth to mere opinions, while absolute truths are dismissed unless scientifically verifiable. Despite technological progress and material wealth, many still experience a profound emptiness. Philosopher Byung-Chul Han argues that this emptiness arises from the loss of rituals that once gave life structure and connection. Meanwhile, Dostoevsky’s Underground Man reflects the paralysis of overthinking and isolation, echoing modern struggles with purpose. Friedrich Nietzsche foresaw this crisis, warning that losing a moral and spiritual framework would lead to nihilism—a sense of meaninglessness that continues to haunt us today. Why does this crisis persist, and what can we do about it? Let’s explore the ideas behind our modern search for meaning.
