There is one fairly standard reason why some
thinkers regard the meaning-of-life question as being itself meaningless. They
argue {{U}}(51) {{/U}} meaning is a matter of language, not objects. It
is a {{U}}(52) {{/U}} of the way we talk about things, not a feature of
things themselves, {{U}}(53) {{/U}} shape, weight or colour. A cabbage
or a computer is not meaningful in itself; it becomes {{U}}(54) {{/U}}
only by being caught up in our conversation. On this theory, we can make life
{{U}}(55) {{/U}} by our talk about it; but it cannot have a meaning in
itself, {{U}}(56) {{/U}} than a cloud can. It would not {{U}}(57)
{{/U}} sense, for example, to speak of a cloud as being true or false.
{{U}}(58) {{/U}}, truth and falsehood are function of our human
judgments about clouds. However, there are problems with this argument,
{{U}}(59) {{/U}} there are with most philosophical arguments. We shall
be {{U}}(60) {{/U}} a few of them later
on.
