In declaring that man is responsible and must update the potential meaning of his life, I wish to emphasize that the true meaning of life will be discovered in the world rather than within man or his own psyche, as if it were a closed system. I have called this constitutive feature "the transcendence of human existence." It denotes the fact that a human being always points, and is directed, at something or someone, other than oneself, whether it is a meaning to fulfill or another human being to find.
