Summary/Abstract: This text is an introduction to the problem discussed in the entire book. At the beginning,a literary diagnosis of contemporaneity has been made, which shows that modern individualsare not capable of discovering or discerning the sense of life or of any of their actions. In thefurther part, philosophical possibilities for deliberating about sense in its ontological, axiologicaland praxeological dimensions (not only the “common” — sensual ones that have been examinedso far) have been indicated. In the last part, a reference to art has been made, which concernsnot only exemplary literary and artistic works analysed in the book, but also the philosophy ofcreation and the questions that artists ask themselves with regard to the aim and the methodsof their activity.
