Facing Death: Epicurus and his Critics
Warren, James (, Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge)
The ancient philosophical school of Epicureanism tried to argue that death is 'nothing to us'. Were they right? This book examines the arguments they offered and evaluates their success, setting them against modern philosophical accounts of how death can be a harm. It also asks whether a life free from all fear of death is an attractive option.
