Description:

While all living things die, death remains one of the least understood and most mysterious of phenomena. This course examines from a variety of philosophical perspectives, Eastern, and Western, the relationship between life and death; the relation between death and the question of the meaning of life; philosophical, scientific, moral and legal definitions of life and death; the question of “mass death” (genocide, modern warfare); thedynamics of dying and of grieving; and, as time allows, pertinent issues of particular interest to students. This course satisfies the CLAC I requirement in philosophy/religion. This course is excellent for students at all levels.
