This philosophical text from 1944 reflects on the nature of human mission through two key questions: what a person's specific mission is and whether an individual mission exists at all. The author analyzes the logical connection between these inquiries, contrasting the teleological assumption that all things have a purpose with existential skepticism. A central argument is that the meaning of life cannot be reduced to mere biological regulation or the pursuit of subjective well-being. The author rejects the idea that an individual's unique existence can be justified solely by the experience of "good," as this fails to explain the reason for a specific person's being and ignores instances where "good" is not experienced. The text thus presents a dilemma: without a higher purpose, is a human being merely an "experimental object"? This reflection seeks a deeper ontological justification for human life that transcends utility and simple hedonism.
