TL;DRAbstract
My aim in this paper is to show that issue about meaning of is a wholly intelligible and legitimate one, as long as we don't consider it a factual problem and, accordingly, only if we do not try to give an answer to it in terms of facts, however special. By means of examples, I try to show that there is simply no intelligible literal use of notion of meaning applied to whole of human life, except when it is used in past tense and in third person. Any other kind of employment can only give rise to nonsense:. I argue that there is a grammatical link between notions of the meaning of life and the morally good life (or, in Tractatus terminology, the happy life). This leads me to try to elucidate nature of a moral problem and to description of application of expresion meaning of life, since it is only this task which could eventually reveal its real meaning.
