What is death and why does it matter to us? How should the
knowledge of our finitude affect the living of our lives and what
are the virtues suitable to mortal beings? Does death destroy the
meaningfulness of lives, or would lives that never ended be
eternally and absurdly tedious? Should we reconcile ourselves to
the fact of our forthcoming death, or refuse to "go gently into
that good night"? Can death really be an evil if, after death, we
no longer exist as subjects of goods or evils? How should we
respond to the deaths of others and do we have any duties towards
the dead? These, and many other, questions are addressed in
Geoffrey Scarre's book, which draws upon a wide variety of
philosophical and literary sources to offer an up-to-date and
highly readable study of some major ethical and metaphysical
riddles concerning death and dying.
