Instructors: Richard Dees
Delivery Mode: In-Person
Description: Death poses a number of philosophical puzzles which we will examine in this class: What does it mean to die? Am I harmed when I die? I don’t experience my death or being dead, so why would it be bad for me? Is it appropriate, then, to fear my death? Is it wrong to kill myself? Can I be harmed after I die? If dying is bad, would it be better if I never died, if I lived forever? Does the fact of that we will die change the way we should live? Does death shape the meaning of our lives? (Offered every other spring, in odd numbered years)
Offered: Fall Spring Summer
