The human way of living our everyday existence inevitably makes us ask about sense. The question is so intense that it seems to reach to the very sources of life's motivation and becomes its measure. That is why seeking sense and truth can be considered a fundamental orientation of the entire human world. The human being's elementary desire to validate one's existence in the perspective of sense can be called the will for sense. The human being is the will for sense. Such a denotation of the human being is to be understood more broadly than just an attitude of the will. Three elements are involved here: firstly, entirely, i.e. engagement of all man's faculties; secondly the 'a priori', i.e. that which is present in every possible human experience of oneself and the world; and thirdly, a more or less conscious pursuit on the part of human existence of the absolutely Unconditioned, which is ultimately perceived as Transcendence. The idea of the human being as the will for sense provides a justification of the fullness of human life in its flourishing beauty. Temporality deserves such an affirmation in which its sense will not be diminished or utterly nullified by reference to eternity. In order to live the fullness of sense one need not trade temporality for eternity.
