632 to ceasing to exist. To make theoretical sense of this evaluative standpoint may be problematic; my suspicion is that, ultimately, we come to a point at which our evaluative judgements elude rational vindication. But it is far from clear that Epicurean hedonism is better placed to make sense of this judgement than is an objectivist position such as Nagel’s. It strikes me that, when it comes to contemplating our own mortality, the considerations of Epicurus that Carel canvasses can certainly provide therapeutic benefits; contentment with each moment as it arises is indeed worthy of cultivation in the pursuit of anything approximating a happy life. Yet it is unclear that a hedonic account of value – with its apparent fixation on momentary experience – can accommodate plausible judgements about the value of a life considered as a whole.
