When the French structuralists proclaim that we should abandon our quest
for meaning (of leben) does that mean/intale or even imply that there is not
one meaning to be found so that there's mani meanings or that there's none
at all? In the latterest case, would a proponent of such a position be
qualified to the value-laden term NIHILIST (-ghasp!-)

Well, I'll combine the quest into one.

After all, Monty Python do have a film, "The meaning of life" -- not the
best songs, though.

I think that while Jones is possibly a nihilist, Eric Idle isn't, so we
can't easily generalise.

Cheers,

Speranza
