The spectrum of views about the ethics of suicide-from the view
that suicide is profoundly morally wrong to the view that it is a
matter of basic human right, and from the view that it is primarily
a private matter to the view that it is largely a social one-lies
at the root of contemporary practical controversies over suicide.
This collection of primary sources-the principal texts of
philosophical interest from western and nonwestern cultures, from
the major religious traditions, and from oral cultures where
observer reports of traditional practices are available, spanning
Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania, and North and South
America-is intended to facilitate exploration of such current
practical issues by exhibiting the astonishingly diverse range of
thinking about suicide throughout human intellectual history, in
its full range of cultures and traditions. This collection has no
interest in taking sides in these debates; rather, it hopes to
expand the character of what have been rather linear recent debates
on issues like physician-assisted suicide, suicide in social
protest, and suicide bombings by making them multidimensional.
