Description
'The Human Predicament' engages life's big questions. Are our lives meaningless? Is death bad? Would immortality be better? Alternatively, should we hasten our deaths by acts of suicide? Many people are tempted to offer comforting, optimistic answers to these existential questions. The text offers a less sanguine assessment and defends a substantial, but not unmitigated, pessimism.Tags
