Можно ли представить себе человека, который в поиске мудрых и чутких людей, способных руководить им во имя его собственного блага, выбрал бы кого-ниб… - Robert Nozick

Our principles fix what our life stands for, our aims create the light our life is bathed in, and our rationality, both individual and coordinate, defines and symbolizes the distance we have come from mere animality. It is by these means that our lives come to more than what they instrumentally yield. And by meaning more, our lives yield more.

"We are reluctant to believe that all of what we are gets erased in death; we seam to ourselves deeper than the mere stoppage of life can reach. Yet the writings on "survival" and the evidence for it seem jejune. Perhaps whatever continues is unable to communicate with us, or has more important things to do, or things we'll find out soon enough anyway — how much energy, after all, do we devote to signaling to fetuses that there is a realm to follow?"

Whatever arises from a just situation by just steps is itself just.
