How Are We to Confront Death? - (Perspectives in Continental Philosophy) by Françoise Dastur (Paperback)This item is not available

Françoise Dastur's "How Are We to Confront Death?" is a groundbreaking book that offers a philosophical exploration of the various ways human societies have confronted death and mortality.

Through accessible language, Dastur examines religion, science, and philosophy's attempts to make sense of death, while arguing that we must once again learn to assume death and become mortal.

This book is an introduction to philosophy, intended for a nonspecialist public hungry for philosophical reflection on what is closest to us - our own imminent death.

Dastur's skill as a translator of phenomenology into clear prose is evident in this little book, making it a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the human experience and embrace death as an essential attribute of being human.
