IHUM46 - Visions of Mortality
Anyone reading this is alive, and so must someday die. Issues arising from these facts of life and death beginning with the most fundamental questions arising from first-person confrontation with thoughts of one's own mortality. Is death bad for a person, and if so, why? What can the badness or the indifference of death tell us about what makes life good? If death is the permanent end of existence, does this make human choices arbitrary, and life meaningless?. Non-Enrollment Section. GERs: IHUM1
