| Abstract
|
:
|
"What matters? Does life have meaning? Is life sacred? Is it bad to die? And can God and religion help? 10 Good Questions about Life and Death makes us think again about some of the most important issues we ever have to face." "Drawing on examples from literature and film, as well as fictitious case studies, the author pulls these questions apart, considers how famous philosophers have approached them, and then offers solutions for further consideration. He avoids technicalities and jargon, ensuring that the book is accessible to readers with no prior knowledge of philosophy."--Jacket
