This book explores the phenomenology of death and offers a unique way into the phenomenological tradition. Paul Fairfield examines the following key topics:
the modern denial of death
Heidegger's important concept of 'being-toward-death' and its centrality in phenomenological ideas, such as authenticity and existence
the philosophical significance of death rituals: what explains the imperative toward ritual around death, and what is its purpose and meaning?
death in an age of secularism
the philosophy and ethics of suicide
death as a mystery rather than a philosophical problem to be solved
the relationship between hope and death.
Death: A Philosophical Inquiry is essential reading for students of phenomenology and existentialism, and will also be of interest to students in related fields such as religion, anthropology and the medical humanities.
