In addition to giving meaning to life ourselves – as if life did not already have a meaning – and intimately related to this, no longer to conceive the meaning of life as a religious matter appealing to God in this regard, one might also add that with Friedrich Nietzsche, and the analogy he proposes – namely, that between life and text – it seems that life comes to be seen no longer as having a single meaning, but several meanings. This is one of those three specificities of the new paradigm regarding the meaning of life. In the pages of this study, I firstly want to highlight its connection with the other two specificities (it is man who gives meaning to life; the question of the meaning of life is no longer a matter for religion). In this way we will see that we are truly witnessing a new paradigm in terms of man's understanding of the meaning of life in recent times. In the second part, I will bring to your attention a few observations that highlight a certain concern about the plurality of the meaning of life. In the third part, I will analyse, from a theological perspective, the relationship between the meaning of life and the meanings of life. And finally, in the last part of this study, we will observe how, in a certain sense, the plurality of the meaning of life can even belong to Christian teaching.
