Abstract

One intuition that motivates subjectivist theories about meaning in life is the anti-alienation intuition, that is, for a life to be meaningful it must engage with the person whose life it is. This article contends that the anti-alienation and subjectivist theories it motivates are best understood as tracking fulfillment in life; this is an axiologically distinct evaluative dimension a life can have, which stands apart from meaning.
