Abstract

This article is a reflection that sheds light on the question about the meaning of life in the perspective of Joseph Ratzinger. For the German theologian, man can only find meaning in his life in the truth. My intention is to demonstrate that the author's logocentrism offers the most adequate metaphysical foundation in order to emphasize the relationship that exists between meaning and truth. Analyzing each of the four senses of «meaning » identified by the Canadian philosopher Jean Grondin, I demonstrate that the Christian faith, as understood by Ratzinger, offers a very complete sense. © 2021 Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra.
