Answered by Examlex AI CopilotI believe that the meaning of life cannot solely be found in human progress. While progress and advancement can bring fulfillment and purpose, I think that the meaning of life is a complex and multifaceted concept that goes beyond just human achievements. It involves personal growth, relationships, spirituality, and a sense of fulfillment that transcends material success.
In relation to the question of whether morality is objective or subjective, my belief that the meaning of life is not solely found in human progress suggests that I lean towards the view that morality is subjective. I believe that individuals and cultures have their own unique values and beliefs, and that there is not a universal, objective standard for morality.
As for the question of whether we can know anything about the external world, my belief in the multifaceted nature of the meaning of life suggests that I also believe that we can know something about the external world. While our understanding may be limited and influenced by our subjective experiences, I think that through observation, exploration, and critical thinking, we can gain knowledge and insights about the world around us.
