It begins with an attempt at defining the question as an inquiry on the ema priori/em value of attention in general, and develops into an axiological reflection distantly inspired from Martin Heideggerrsquo;s notion of ldquo;care.rdquo; The main objective of the article is to ldquo;answerrdquo; the question objectively by ldquo;playing alongrdquo; with its naiuml;ve logicmdash;that is, by finding a basis for comparing the good that can be found ema priori/em in life with the good that can be found ema priori/em in death mdash;and, then, to suggest why we have no good reason to feel dissatisfied with where this leaves us. Its basic conclusion is, assuming we are committed to assigning value to life emin general/em, that we should be able to say that life is good emirrespective of /emany explanation for its existence./span/font/span/span.
