摘要

在我2002年的文章《生命的意义》中,我认为生命是所有生物生命的总和,当且仅当它被设计师或创造者有意地创造出来时才有意义。Michael Hauskeller最近批评了这种观点,他回应说,当我们讨论“生命的意义”时,这种“意义”的感觉并不是我们所考虑的。在这篇文章中,我对豪斯凯勒的观点做出了回应,虽然我坚持2002年关于“意义”的一种含义的观点,但我承认,它并不适用于使生活有意义的其他问题。我断言,荣耀上帝是使人生最有意义的活动,尽管我否认这是使人生最有意义的唯一活动。用梅斯的话来说,这使我成为一个温和的超自然主义者,而不是极端的超自然主义者。尽管有这种区别,梅斯在这本书中认为,温和的超自然主义很容易受到反对,就像他认为击败极端的超自然主义一样,我以回应这个论点来结束。

God, The Meaning of Life, and Meaningful Lives
Abstract In my 2002 piece ‘The Meaning of Life’ I argued that Life, meaning the sum of the lives of all living things, had a meaning if and only if it had been purposefully brought about by a designer or creator. Michael Hauskeller has recently criticized this argument, responding that this sense of ‘meaning’ is not the one in view when we are discussing ‘the meaning of life’. In this piece I respond to Hauskeller's argument, and, while I stand by my 2002 argument in terms of one meaning of ‘meaning’, I admit that it does not apply to the different question of what makes a life meaningful. I assert that glorifying God is the activity that contributes the most meaningfulness to a life, though I deny that this is the only activity that can contribute meaningfulness to a life. This makes me, in terms due to Thaddeus Metz, a moderate supernaturalist rather than an extreme supernaturalist. Despite this distinction, Metz has argued in this volume that moderate supernaturalism is vulnerable to the same objection as in his view defeats extreme supernaturalism, and I close by responding to this argument.
