About this book
Is Life Worth Living? is by William Hurrell Mallock, author of The New Republic. A quoted line reads that man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain. A list of propositions says it will be seen that, as far as science can inform us, man is nothing but an automaton, and lists that the positive school are afraid to admit this.
The list also proposes to compare the molecules of the brain to the six moving billiard-balls, and asks whether these movements are due to the stroke of one cue or of two. The text says a sense of awe and of hushed solemnity is, as a fact, born in us at the spectacle of the starry heavens, but that on positive principles this must be feeling only.
