I am seeking literature about the meaning of experiences, and what it is that makes experiences meaningful.
Granted, there are several meanings to the terms "meaning" and "meaningful". I guess the first thing I might need would then be references to the various definitions and uses of these terms out there.
Likewise, I would assume that there is more philosophical literature than psychological and empirical, and so there might be different lines of inquiry addressing this topic.
I would appreciate any guidance as to where to look for such literature, in any field.
Thanks.
Hello Jacob, I'm also interested in this topic and investigating meaningful interactive experiences, both on an empirical and philosophical level. I attached links to two interesting empirical papers. The latter being my latest research, that makes use of Murray's taxonomy. In that regard, I advise to include the term "transformational experience" in your search. Best, Christian
