By the end of this class, you will:

  1. Be able to explain how Taylor uses two variations on the Sisyphus myth to argue
    • that we should not care whether our lives have “objective meaning”
    • that all we should care about is whether our lives have “subjective meaning”, i.e., “meaning for us”
  2. Be aware of at least one objection to Taylor’s reasoning.
