question 6

True/False

Baggini examines the teleological view of life, the notion that life has meaning only when it is lived toward future goals and objectives. He concludes that if life has meaning only because of some goal set in the future, "we would never be able to catch up with the purpose of life's existence and so purpose would permanently elude us, whether there is life after death or not…. [W]e also need to find a way of living which is worthwhile in itself."
-For Baggini, life after death makes mortal life meaningful.
