Essay #2 (see directions above) Passage A: “Why, when that rhapsodic hound was here, did you say nothing to save these people? Yet hers was a riddle not just anyone might solve. It required skill…you didn’t seem to have… And then I came along, [A], I stopped her, using my brains.” Passage B: “And yet, on reflection, I did well to honor you.

Then reflect on how this view influences your own understanding of the meaning of life. Does thinking about death as a loss of future goods make life feel more meaningful, less meaningful, or more uncertain? Do you agree with Nagel that the problem of death raises deeper questions about whether life has an overall purpose?
