The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Death collects 21 newly commissioned essays that cover current philosophical thinking of death-related topics across the entire range of the discipline. These include metaphysical topics--such as the nature of death, the possibility of an afterlife, the nature of persons, and how our thinking about time affects what we think about death--as well as axiological topics, such as whether death is bad for its victim, what makes it bad to die, what attitude it is fitting to take towards death, the possibility of posthumous harm, and the desirability of immortality. The contributors also explore the views of ancient philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato and Epicurus on topics related to the philosophy of death, and questions in normative ethics, such as what makes killing wrong when it is wrong, and whether it is wrong to kill fetuses, non-human animals, combatants in war, and convicted murderers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen Bradley\u003c\/strong\u003e is Allan and Anita Sutton Professor of Philosophy at Syracuse University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFred Feldman\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJens Johannson\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Uppsala Universitet.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 528\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.3 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42126165246032,"sku":"9780190271459","price":111.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/QTErWDVidFNDaWRTUFdic0grRXIzZz09.webp?v=1773255176","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/oxford-handbook-of-philosophy-of-death-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
