Summary/Abstract: In the paper we present an understanding of the meaning of life in the history of philosophy. We analyze the meaning of life in Greek philosophy, patristics, scholasticism, modern philosophy, and describe it in more detail in contemporary postmodern philosophy. We present our own conception of the meaning of life based on Christian philosophy. The meaning of life implies an objective (metaphysical, holistic) aspect, and a subjective (immanent, partial) aspect being realized in everyday life. We discover the meaning of life and at the same time realize it through action. The highest meaning of life is God, who is love.
