Is Life Worth Living?

Is Life Worth Living? is a philosophical work by W. H. Mallock, first published in 1879. The book critically examines the inherent value of human life, questioning whether life should be universally regarded as worth living. Mallock challenges the prevailing optimism of his time, arguing that contemporary thought often neglects a rigorous analysis of life's significance. Through his exploration of happiness, morality, and societal expectations, he prompts readers to reflect on their own beliefs about existence and purpose.
