Prompt
(1) At the top of p. 174 in Richard Taylor’s article “The Meaning of Life,” he concludes, “This is the nearest we may hope to get to heaven, but the redeeming side of that fact is that we do thereby avoid a genuine hell.” Explain themeaning of this statement: what is “this;” what does Taylor mean by “the nearest we may hope to get to heaven;” and what does he mean by “genuine hell”? Then provide a reconstruction of Taylor’s argument for the conclusion.Taylor uses variations of the Sisyphus story as premises. So your job in reconstructing his argument is to a) state andexplain, in your own words, the relevant variations of the Sisyphus story, b) make explicit the logical connectionbetween these variations, and c) explain in this process what Taylor takes the phrases “meaning/meaninglessness of life” to be about. Has Taylor thereby offered an account of the “meaning of life” that would satisfy Nagel? Why or why not? Do you tend to agree more with Nagel, or more with Taylor, and why?
