Description

Death A Philosophical Inquiry by Paul Fairfield explores the concept of death in the phenomenological and existential traditions. This book examines key topics such as modern denials and evasions of death, Heidegger's concept of 'being toward death', and the philosophical significance of death rituals. Fairfield delves into the relationship between hope and death, and considers the role of death in an age of secularism. The book also investigates the philosophy and ethics of suicide, offering a unique perspective on this complex topic. By examining these themes, Fairfield provides a nuanced understanding of death as a mystery rather than a philosophical problem to be solved. This book is essential reading for students of phenomenology and existentialism, and will also appeal to those in related fields such as religion and anthropology, as well as medical humanities.
