Abstract
One of the new philosophical issues facing philosophers is to provide solutions for giving meaning to human life. The findings of the research based on the principles of transcendental wisdom can be explained in the following way: meaning-making and non-meaning-making are secondary philosophical concepts and rationalities that can be abstracted from human life; hence, absolute nihilism has no external origin. Also, the anthropological foundations of Sadra'i wisdom, considering the fact that man is a being, provide a specific analysis of human identity, based on which man has an existential tendency and intuitive knowledge that become the basic basis for giving meaning to life, and the goals existing in human life cause the abstraction of these concepts. Sadra'i's wisdom claims that the more realistic and harmonious the goals are with human life, the more meaningful the human life will be.
