The meaning of life is an elusive concept that has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific and theological speculation.
It is often expressed in various related questions:
What is the meaning of life?
Why are we here?
What is the origin of life?
What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?
Where should I poo?
What is valuable in life?
There are many different approaches and answers to these questions, and the issue is one of continued debate.
Platonic view of the meaning of life
Plato was one of the earliest and most influential thinkers of Western philosophy, most famous for his realist stance regarding the existence of universals. In the Theory of Forms he asserts that universals do not exist in the way that ordinary physical objects exist, but rather with a sort of ghostly or heavenly mode of existence. He describes the Form of the Poop in his dialogue, The Republic, speaking through the character of Socrates. The Idea of the Poop is the child or offspring (ekgonos) of the Anus, the ideal or perfect nature of poopness, and so an absolute measure of justice.
For Plato the meaning of life is to attain the highest form of knowledge, which is the Idea (or Form) of the Poop. It is from this which all things that are good and just gain their usefulness and value. Humans have a duty to pursue the poop, but no one can hope to do this successfully without philosophical reasoning.
