This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
The Philosophy of Death study group provides an opportunity to ask questions such as: “What does it mean to die and who or what is the ‘person’ that dies? Is it merely a physical body, or is it also something like a soul, and, if so, does the existence of a soul indicate that there is some hope of immortality? What should our attitude toward death be and what effect should that have on the way we live our lives?” The study group uses a number of prominent philosophical and literary works—including those by Plato, Tolstoy, Montaigne, Jonathan Swift, Walter Kauffmann and Lucretius—to think about death philosophically.
Greetings and welcome to the Philosophy of Death Study Group. As soon as you sign up and get accepted to the study group, please post a few words about you and your interest in this study group on the Activity Wall.
