I emphasize here and throughout the book the disctinction between ethics, which is the study of how to live well, and morality, which is the study of how we must treat other people.<br /><br />How, then, should we live? (...) We must treat the making of our lives as a challenge, one we can perform well or badly. We must recognize, as cardinal among our private interests, an ambition to make our lives good lives: authentic and worthy rather than mean or degrading. In particular we must cherish our dignity. The concept of dignity has become debased by flabby overuse in political rhetoric: every politician pays lip service to the idea, and almost every covenant of human rights gives it pride of place. But we need the idea, and the cognate idea of self-respect, if we are to make much sense of our situation and our ambitions. Each of us bursts with love of life and fear of death: we are alonea among animals conscious of that apparently absurd situation. The only value we can find in living in the foothills of death, as we do, is adverbial value. We must find the value of living - the meaning of life - in living well, just as we find value in loving or painting or writing or singing or diving well. There is no other enduring value or meaning is our lives, but that is value and meaning enough. In fact, it's wonderful."Rafael A. F.

It is irresponsible to try to do without such a theory".Rafael A. F. Zanattahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134526393445294143noreply@blogger.com
