Life is valuable because it is an occasion to work and to struggle, to advance, and to progress. The phase of meliorism recognizes that the purpose of life lies be- yond the narrow sphere of the ego; the value of life lies in our ideals, which will live after us, which, indeed, are worth living andstriving for. The doctrine of meliorism sheds a new light on tragedy, and ex- plains most clearly the complete sense of the Greek term, meaning th purification of the hero, which Aristotle teaches us to be the purpose of a tragedy. The audience should be led through the same ordeal of purification. The hero no longer lives for himself; he lives for his ideals. His ideals live in him, and his life is subservient to his ideals. Man’s life is a constant struggle for progress, a strife for the ideal, and an adya nce to loftier heights. in the infinite path of great py 15sibilities.
