So the question put forward was: What is the goal of a human being? Why do we live? To sum it up, his answer was rather beautiful: The goal of life, its reason, is to give it away (for an ideal). Yet there is a very dangerous flipside to this notion, which is that it is open to be perverted by ideology.
Edmund Husserl is definitely right in calling for doubt in this case. Simply beware of indubitable ideas. Or like
Kurt Tucholsky put it: I prefer a sceptical Catholic to a convinced atheist.
