    Here's some questions coming from America the Philosophical.

    FQ: Why did Nozick feel that life or living is not the kind of topic that philosophers feel is necessarily rewarding? (answer: because it doesn't provide "clear standards of success." pg. 100)

    DQ: Why do you think philosophizing about "life or living" isn't considered to be rewarding by Nozick?
