ABSTRACT
To make a life choice is to choose a way of life. That life choices are possible, and in some sense open to everyone, including the possibility of, in some way, making oneself, is one of the definitive claims of modern society. As such, the claim becomes definitive in all considerations of choice, a part of what constitutes the modern meaning of the word: all other choices are, in one way or another, linked to life choices. This, anyway, is the grand claim. There will be time enough for modifications.
