Considering the question of meaningfulness of man in the world - an obsessive philosophical issue in Karl Jaspers' existentialism - in this essay we try to emphasize some of the very own manner in which Phenomenology of Life offers new concepts and it opens a novel perspective in tackling the grave problem of human beingness in nowadays; by unfolding a different trajectory, beyond the existentialist doubtful approaches that remain somehow under the sign of pessimism. The reliance on the "creative virtualities" of man in a positive/constructive direction - that is permanently featured by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka - could be a very good model of following in a better self-understanding, social communication and, finally, in making our life a worthy one to be lived.
