Description

Death is a fundamental question that we all face. Once we accept that mortality is inevitable, our minds are left with many questions.

In this thought-provoking book, Shelly Kagan explores the various queries that arise when confronted with the meaning of death. He examines whether there is reason to believe in immortal souls, or if we should accept a view where people are just material objects. The author also considers the idea of surviving the death of one's body and the implications of immortality.

This book challenges many widely held views about death, inviting readers to take a fresh look at this central feature of human existence. Written in an informal style, it is a stimulating and provocative exploration of one of life's most profound questions.
