The connections between death, contemplation and the contemplative
life have been a recurrent theme in the canons of both western and
eastern philosophical thought. This book examines the classical
sources of this philosophical literature, in particular Plato's
Phaedo and the Katha Upanishad and then proceeds to a sustained
analysis and critical assessment of the sources and standpoints of
a single thinker, Arthur Schopenhauer, whose work comprehensively
pursues this problem. Going beyond the well examined western
influences on Schopenhauer, Singh offers an in-depth account of
Schopenhauer's references to eastern thought and a comprehensive
examination of his eastern sources, particularly Vedanta and
Buddhism. The book traces the pivotal issue of death through the
whole range of Schopenhauer's writings uncovering the deeper
connotations of his crucial notion of the will-to-live.
