philosophical perspectives on death  

Définition(s)

  • The history of Western philosophy is framed by bold assertions on the relationship between philosophy and death. In his dialogue Phaedo, for example, ancient Greek philosopher Plato famously defined philosophy itself as meletethanatou, the practice or preparation for death, and the 20th-century philosopher and writer Albert Camus insists, equally famously in his Myth of Sisyphus, that the only serious philosophical question is the question of suicide.
