摘要：

In this critical notice of Guy Bennett-Hunter's Ineffability and Religious Experience, I focus on claims he makes about what makes a life meaningful. According to Bennett-Hunter, for human life to be meaningful it must obtain its meaning from what is beyond the human and is ineffable, which constitutes an ultimate kind of meaning. I spell out Bennett-Hunter's rationale for making this claim, raise some objections to it, and in their wake articulate an alternative conception of ultimate meaning.
