Does life already have a purpose waiting to be discovered? Or are we free to create one for ourselves? Is meaning something we find, or something we build through our choices, relationships and experiences? Join us for a guided discussion exploring one of humanity's oldest and biggest questions. Together, we'll examine the arguments on both sides—from the idea that purpose comes from destiny, biology, religion or something greater than ourselves, to the belief that life's meaning is something we invent as we go.
Rather than getting lost in abstract philosophy, we'll bring these ideas back to everyday life. How does believing one view or the other change the way we approach work, love, ambition, failure or happiness? Which mindset leads to a more fulfilling life? There are no right answers, just thoughtful conversation, good arguments, different perspectives and, knowing this host, probably a few terrible jokes along the way. Whether you've spent years thinking about these questions or never really considered them before, you'll leave with plenty to think about long after the discussion ends.
人生的意义,是否早已存在,只等我们去发现?还是说,我们可以自由地为自己创造意义?意义是找到的,还是通过选择、关系和经历一点点建立起来的?来参加这场引导式讨论,一起聊聊人类最古老、也最重要的问题之一。我们会看看不同立场的观点:有人相信,人生目标来自命运、生物本能、宗教,或某种超越个人的力量;也有人认为,人生的意义是在一路前行中由我们自己创造的。
我们不会困在抽象哲学里,而是会把这些想法带回日常生活。相信不同的观点,会怎样影响我们面对工作、爱情、野心、失败和幸福的方式?哪种思维模式会让生活更充实?这里没有标准答案,只有认真聊天、有理有据的观点、不同角度的碰撞——当然,按这位主持人的风格,中间大概还会穿插几个冷笑话。不管你已经思考这些问题很多年,还是几乎没认真想过,都能带着不少值得继续琢磨的东西离开。
