Excerpt from The Ultimatum of Pessimism, an Ethical Study 1. The question concerning the Worth of Life - Is Life Worthy, or Worthless, or worse than Worthless? - occupies in Ethics a position in some respects similar to that of the Personality of God in scientific Theology. This latter science is not, indeed, altogether abolished when, instead of the expression 'Divine Person, ' we substitute such forms as 'Integral of Creation, ' or 'Stream of Tendency, ' but the structures raised upon such different bases bear small resemblance to each other, and Theology really becomes an equivocal term. Similarly in Ethics, we may lay down the proposition that Life is worse than worthless, and we can build on this postulate a science of morals.
