We often face difficult life decisions in which we must choose between apparently incommensurable paths our lives might follow. To use some rather stark examples, we might have to choose between a secular life and a religious life, between a life in the arts and a life in business, between a life that draws on and enhances our intellectual capacities and one that utilizes and develops our empathic capacities. How are we to compare the desires and aversions, the loves and hates, the pains and pleasures we would have as the different persons we would become were we to choose one way or the other? Whichever choice we make, we will come to value some of those activities and experiences our chosen life makes possible for us, because the choice we make will affect what sort of person we become. For the persons we would become having chosen the religious over the secular life, that life (or least some facets of it) may be better, whereas for the persons we would become having chosen the secular over the religious life, that choice may be better. We wonder, though, whether there is some way to evaluate our options other than from within the stanpoints of the lives could determine our real good.
