There is one thing I can be sure of: I am going to die. But what am I to make of that
fact? This course will examine a number of issues that arise once we begin to reflect
on our mortality. The possibility that death may not actually be the end is considered.
Are we, in some sense, immortal? Would immortality be desirable? Also a clearer notion
of what it is to die is examined. What does it mean to say that a person has died?
What kind of fact is that? And, finally, different attitudes to death are evaluated.
Is death an evil? How? Why? Is suicide morally permissible? Is it rational? How should
the knowledge that I am going to die affect the way I live my life?
