About This Book
The Open Yale Courses Series
There is one thing we can be sure of: we are all going to die. But once
we accept that fact, the questions begin. In this thought-provoking
book, philosophy professor Shelly Kagan examines the myriad questions
that arise when we confront the meaning of mortality. Do we have reason
to believe in the existence of immortal souls? Or should we accept an
account according to which people are just material objects, nothing
more? Can we make sense of the idea of surviving the death of one¡¯s
body? If I won¡¯t exist after I die, can death truly be bad for me? Would
immortality be desirable? Is fear of death appropriate? Is suicide ever
justified? How should I live in the face of death?
Written in an informal and conversational style, this stimulating and
provocative book challenges many widely held views about death, as it
invites the reader to take a fresh look at one of the central features
of the human condition—the fact that we will die.
