In her essay, “The Meanings of Lives”, Susan Wolf argues that while there may not be a “Meaning of Life” as a whole, one can either achieve or fail to achieve, meaning in their particular life. Specifically, Wolf argues that to achieve meaning in life, a life must be actively engaged in projects of positive value that are at least to some degree successful.
