Well-Being and Death addresses philosophical questions about death
and the good life: what makes a life go well? Is death bad for the
one who dies? How is this possible if we go out of existence when
we die? Is it worse to die as an infant or as a young adult? Is it
bad for animals and fetuses to die? Can the dead be harmed? Is
there any way to make death less bad for us? Ben Bradley defends
the following views: pleasure, rather than achievement or the
satisfaction of desire, is what makes life go well; death is
generally bad for its victim, in virtue of depriving the victim of
more of a good life; death is bad for its victim at times after
death, in particular at all those times at which the victim would
have been living well; death is worse the earlier it occurs, and
hence it is worse to die as an infant than as an adult; death is
usually bad for animals and fetuses, in just the same way it is bad
for adult humans; things that happen after someone has died cannot
harm that person; the only sensible way to make death less bad is
to live so long that no more good life is possible.
