Description
Death is a subject that is both familiar and mysterious. This book explores its significance in shaping human lives, drawing on insights from philosophers across the ages. It argues that death plays a profound educational importance, influencing our commitments, priorities, ideals and relationships. The authors examine how our understanding of death can inform our approach to teaching and learning. They suggest that considering death can help us see ourselves in a new light, allowing us to better appreciate others' perspectives. By exploring the relationship between death and education, this book offers a unique perspective on a complex and sensitive subject.
