    es gibt nur ein wirklich ernstes philosophisches Problem, und das ist Selbstmord. zu beurteilen, ob das Leben lebenswert ist oder nicht, kommt der Beantwortung der Grundfrage der Philosophie gleich.

    il n'y a qu'un problème philosophique vraiment sérieux, et c'est le suicide. juger si la vie vaut ou non la peine d'être vécue revient à répondre à la question fondamentale de la philosophie.

    c'è solo un problema filosofico veramente serio, ed è il suicidio. giudicare se la vita sia o meno degna di essere vissuta equivale a rispondere alla domanda fondamentale della filosofia.

    יש רק בעיה פילוסופית אחת רצינית באמת, והיא התאבדות. אם לשפוט אם חיים שווה לחיות או לא כדאי להשיב על השאלה היסודית של הפילוסופיה.

    本当に深刻な哲学的問題が1つだけあり、それは自殺です。人生が生きる価値があるかどうかを判断することは、哲学の基本的な質問に答えることになります。
