Abstract

The question of the "meaning of life" and its answer, is one of the most important concerns of human beings. Some argue that research of the MEANING OF LIFE in fact is the study of the "end" or "purpose" of life. In this article, we attempt to examine the MEANING OF LIFE from the viewpoint of PLATO. PLATO's Philosophy is a type of life philosophy and life's meaning is discovered by a philosophy based on the "absolute truth". According to PLATO, human life is a purposeful process that its END is the "Form of the Good". The process is implied the knowledge and love of the Good along with acquisition of virtues. The "Form of the Good" is as the king of the intelligible world, and it is absolute goodness and beauty that its attainment is the END of "philosophia": philosophical life is the best way for attaining the Good. Due to the PLATO's teleological view of life and position of the Form of the Good in his philosophical system, it is appropriate to ascribe to him a supernaturalistic point of view of the MEANING OF LIFE.
