Nagel Says, "Another Inadequate Argument Is That Because We Are

question 130

Essay

Nagel says, "Another inadequate argument is that because we are going to die, all chains of justification must leave off in mid-air: one studies and works to earn money to pay for clothing, housing, entertainment, food, to sustain oneself from year to year, perhaps to support a family and pursue a career-but to what final end? All of it is an elaborate journey leading nowhere." Why does Nagel think that the argument is inadequate?
