In this chapter a broad analysis of the concept of meaning is done, where it can
be assigned to the plant and animal life; the particular case of meaning given to
human life is also analysed and discussed.
From the conception of J. LeDoux, who asserts that human brain activity is
synaptic,
the question is raised of the human brain as that which discovers the
various senses attributable to sensory perceptions, namely aesthetic, ethic and
rational sense.
It is proposed that the deepest sense assigned by the brain to human life is
symbolic immortality, especially religious, according to Lifton, as hope in the
life of the world to come.
Finally, it is assumed that it is possible to educate for the end of the body’s life
time, so that it is accepted as a significant time for the person.
