Problem

You've tested your critical thinking skills. Read Richard Taylor's "The Meaning of Life" (page 976 in our class textbook). After reading please consider the following argument from Taylor's work:

Look at the busy street any day, and observe the throng going hither and thither. To what? Some office or shop, where the same things will be done today as were done yesterday, and are done now so they may be repeated tomorrow. And if we think that unlike Sisyphus, these labors do have a point, that they culminate in something lasting and, independently of our own deep interests in them, very worthwhile, then we simply have not considered the thing closely enough. (p. 980)

Explain and assess this argument. Use all your critical thinking skills and evaluate Taylor's point. Do you agree with his conclusion? Why or why not?
