El dilema humano

Do our lives make sense? Is death a bad thing? Would immortality be better? On second thought, wouldn't it be preferable to hasten our death with suicide? Many people ask these transcendental questions, pressing in some cases. It is surprising that analytic philosophers have not paid more attention to these decisive questions about the meaning of life, and when they have, they have often tended to offer optimistic and comforting answers, in the manner of many popular authors. "The Human Dilemma" presents the reader with a lucid and unprejudiced vision of the human condition.
