Death is one of those few topics that attract the attention of just
about every significant thinker in the history of Western
philosophy, and this attention has resulted in diverse and complex
views on death and what comes after. In Meaning and Mortality, Adam
Buben offers a remarkably useful new framework for understanding
the ways in which philosophy has discussed death by focusing first
on two traditional strains in the discussion, the Platonic and the
Epicurean. After providing a thorough account of this ancient
dichotomy, he describes the development of an alternative means of
handling death in Soren Kierkegaard and Martin Heidegger, whose
work on death tends to overshadow Kierkegaard's despite the
undeniable influence exerted on himby the nineteenth-century Dane.
Buben argues that Kierkegaard and Heidegger prescribe a peculiar
way of living with death that offers a kind of compromise between
the Platonic and the Epicurean strains.
