This book brings together the relevant interdisciplinary and method
elements needed to form a conceptual framework that is both
pragmatic and rigorous. By using the best and often the latest,
work in thanatology, psychology, neuroscience, sociology, physics,
philosophy and ethics, it develops a framework for understanding
both what death is - which requires a great deal of time spent
developing definitions of the various types of
identity-in-the-moment and identity-over-time - and the values
involved in death. This pragmatic framework answers questions about
why death is a form of loss; why we experience the emotional
reactions, feelings and desires that we do; which of these
reactions, feelings and desires are justified and which are not; if
we can survive death and how; whether our deaths can harm us; and
why and how we should prepare for death. Thanks to the pragmatic
framework employed, the answers to the various questions are more
likely to be accurate and acceptable than those with less rigorous
scholarly underpinnings or which deal with utopian worlds.
