| Zusammenfassung: | "Which lives, if any, are valuable, and to what extent? What sort, or sorts, of value do they have? Is life meaningful? What sorts of lives? And what sorts of meaning can they have? In this book Christopher Belshaw addresses these questions and more. He draws on earlier work concerning death, identity, animals, immortality and extinction to build a large-scale argument on the value and meaning of life. Rejecting suggestions that life is sacred or intrinsically valuable, Belshaw argues instead that its value varies - and varies considerably - both within and between different plants, animals and persons. The central chapters of the book focus on a key question: do we have sufficient reason to start lives? Not only is it denied that there is any such reason, but some sympathy is afforded to the anti-natalist contention that there is reason against. The final chapters deal with meaning. Support is given to the sober and familiar view that meaning derives from an enthusiasm for, and some success with, the pursuit of worthwhile projects. Now suppose we are immortal. Or suppose, in contrast, that we face imminent extinction. Would either of these threaten meaning? Belshaw claims that the force of such threats is often exaggerated. The Value and Meaning of Life is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, as well those in related subjects such as religion"-- |
