第1問
次の英文を読んで、後の問い（問１～問８）に答えなさい。
（本文中の斜字体は原文通り。なお本文中の*印の語は（注）を参照すること）
What is the purpose of life? Does this question make sense? Not everything
can be said to have a purpose. 0ne could not
(a)properly
ask, for example, what is
the purpose of the sky, of *magnetism, or of *dandelions. A piece of equipment
can be said to have a purpose, and an action may be done for a purpose. But life
is not an action or a piece of equipment. Again, such things as magnetism and
dandelions can be put to a purpose; but does it make sense to speak of putting
life to a purpose? We may say of some people that their lives are
(b)devoted
to a
purpose, and this would mean that their activities are largely directed to a
(
1
) purpose. But when it is asked what is the purpose of life, this usually
means something more general, and goes beyond any activities within a person’s
life. What is
(c)sought
is a purpose that can be *ascribed to life as such―
something outside human life, for the sake of which it exists and is carried on. A
purpose of this transcendent kind is offered by religion. But leaving aside the
religious approach for the moment, it is not clear what can be meant by asking
for the purpose of life.
But why should a need for such a purpose be felt? Purpose plays an
(d)ambiguous
role in our lives. Human life is full of purpose: man is a purposive
animal. Purpose is also an important ingredient in a happy, ‘meaningful’ life,
and we complain if someone’s life (our own or another’s) is lacking in purpose.
Yet, as we shall see, purpose cannot, so to speak, fulfil the expectations that it
raises. In certain ways we must be left unsatisfied; and (P)[①is ②why ③may ④
we ⑤that]want to push the quest for purpose beyond its normal scope, reaching
out towards something beyond life which would allay our dissatisfaction.
Man is a purposive animal; a life (
2
) purpose would not be a human life at
all. Most of our activities, important and trivial, are *infused with purpose. We
buy food in order to eat, put clothes on in order to be warm, sow in order to reap,
and so on. There is a purpose in human language. I use words to let you know
that p, to find out whether q, or for various other (
3
). Again, human actions
are identified by their purpose. ‘What are you doing?’ ‘Going to the lecture.’ In
one sense, what l am doing can be described in physical terms. But
(i)this
would
be only a partial description. What is needed for a full description is a reference
to my purpose in performing these movements, i.e. to attend the lecture.
We can also ascribe purpose to animals and even plants. The *blackbird builds
-4-
a nest in order to rear its young, and the purpose of bright flowers is to attract
insects which will *pollinate them. But (ii)these phenomena can be described in a
mechanical way or by reference to instinct. The blackbird does not justify its
behaviour as a
(e)means
to an end; it simply performs these actions (
4
), and
then other activities (rearing the young, etc.) become possible. Such behaviour
(as nest-building) will also be carried on, instinctively, in circumstances in
which
(X)it
will be useless. In the human case, by contrast, we can distinguish
between instinctive and purposive behaviour in terms of justification and
responsibility. An example of instinctive behaviour is when we fall over and
instinctively put our hands out before striking the ground. This is useful
behaviour and it serves a purpose. But we
(Q)[①not
②responsible ③are ④it ⑤
for] as in the case of actions that we choose to do. My purpose in sowing seeds,
for example, is one that I would state in justifying this action, in explaining why
l have chosen to do this rather than something else or nothing at all.
This aspect of human life depends on the ability to represent to ourselves
alternative purposes and courses of action; and
(Y)this
we do by means of
language. In this sense we live, unlike other animals, in the future as well as in
the present. 0ther animals have an instinct (or ‘drive’) to do something, and they
do it. The action has consequences (which may be beneficial), but these are not
present to the animal. Human beings, by contrast, have the (
future, so to speak, into the present, by means of language.
