This paper aims to determine the precise meaning of the word “meaning” in the context of the sense of meaning and to explain the characteristics of meaning and meaning in life. Using ordinary language analysis and phenomenology, this paper defines meaning as the possibility of something to realize its goal: the effectiveness of a thing in realizing the goal. Thus, this paper aims to establish a Meaning Effectiveness Model (MEM), which regards meaning as a function of goal and effectiveness to explain the meaning phenomena, including degree, frequency, stability, adaptive functions, and emerging conditions of meaning. Within the framework of MEM, meaning in life is divided into meaning within life and the meaning of life itself, which have different characteristics. The relationship between the model and existing meaning theories is also discussed.

意义有效性模型的构建:生命意义的新诠释
本文旨在根据意义意义来确定“意义”一词的确切含义,并解释意义和意义在生活中的特征。本文使用普通语言分析和现象学,将意义定义为事物实现其目标的可能性:事物在实现目标中的有效性。因此,本文旨在建立一个意义有效性模型(MEM),该模型将意义作为目标和有效性的函数,以解释意义现象,包括程度,频率,稳定性,适应性功能和意义出现的条件。在MEM的框架内,生命的意义分为生命内的意义和生命本身的意义,具有不同的特征。还讨论了模型与现有意义理论之间的关系。
