V.V. Kornilyev Who owns the meaning of life?

Abstract: The meaning of life question was addressed in both, philosophy and fiction a great number of times. Ivanov- Razumnik’s “Meaning of work” which includes the analysis of L. Shestov’s, L. Andreev’s and F. Sologub’s works, provides insight and analysis on the subject from modern natural history and entropy viewpoints. Irregularity of energy implies a connection between the meaning of life, the process of growth and evolution and systemic organization, which is further reinforced by the viewpoints of E. Fromm and F. Nietzsche on incompleteness of human nature. The phenomena of love, friendship, fellowship and partnership define the process of comprehension of higher meaning. Ivanov-Razumnik‘s intuitive and creative approach to explaining the subject is being disputed. The meaning of life does not lie in human nature, or the substance of society, but rather in their interconnectedness, viewing violence and death as an integral part of balancing and strengthening this connection.
