This book contributes to current bioethical debates by providing a
critical analysis of the philosophy of human death. Bernard N.
Schumacher discusses contemporary philosophical perspectives on
death, creating a dialogue between phenomenology, existentialism
and analytic philosophy. He also examines the ancient philosophies
that have shaped our current ideas about death. His analysis
focuses on three fundamental problems: (1) the definition of human
death, (2) the knowledge of mortality and of human death as such,
and (3) the question of whether death is 'nothing' to us or, on the
contrary, whether it can be regarded as an absolute or relative
evil. Drawing on scholarship published in four languages and from
three distinct currents of thought, this volume represents a
comprehensive and systematic study of the philosophy of death, one
that provides a provocative basis for discussions of the bioethics
of human mortality.
