Abstract This is a commentary on Samuel Scheffler’s One Life to Lead , focusing on Chap. 2 of that book. The piece focuses on Scheffler’s conditional acceptance of a revised form of Parfit’s ‘excellent argument’ and suggests that there are more fundamental reasons to reject Parfit’s endorsement of temporal neutrality than arise from our relationships.
