Death and Philosophy

Informationen zum Autor J.E Malpas, Robert C. Solomon Klappentext Death and Philosophy considers these questions with different perspectives varying from the existentialist - deriving from Camus, Heidegger or Sartre, to the English speaking analytic tradition of Bernard Williams or Thomas Nagel; to non-wester approaches such as are exemplified in the Tibetan Book of the Dead and in Daoist thought; to perspectives influenced by Lucretious, Epicurus and Nietzsche. Death and Philosophy will be of great interest to philosphers, or those studying religion and theology, buts its clarity and scope ensures it will be accessible to anyone who has considered what it means to be mortal. Zusammenfassung Death and Philosophy brings a rich and diverse array of philosophical, literary and aesthetic perspectives to bear on the theme of death.
