Comments on the original article "Life is pretty meaningful," by S. J. Heintzelman and L. A. King (see record 2014-03265-001). The current authors welcome Heintzelman and King's discussion of meaning and agree that meaning is necessary for a good human life. The authors endorse a fully subjective understanding of meaning by focusing on personal experiences of purpose, significance, and life making sense. The current authors suggest, however, that (a) a subjective theory of meaning is only one approach to meaning, (b) the subjective theory creates serious difficulties, and (c) intersubjectivity is necessary to adequately understand meaning.
对 S. J. 海因策尔曼和 L. A. 金（参见记录 2014-03265-001）的原始文章“生活很有意义”的评论。当前的作者欢迎海因策尔曼和金对意义的讨论，并同意意义对于美好的人类生活是必要的。作者通过关注个人对目的、意义和生活意义的体验，赞同对意义的完全主观理解。然而，当前的作者认为：（a）主观意义理论只是理解意义的一种方法；（b）主观理论会产生严重的困难；（c）主体间性是充分理解意义所必需的。
