The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Death collects 21 newly commissioned essays that cover current philosophical thinking of deathrelated topics across the entire range of the discipline. These include metaphysical topicssuch 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 deathas 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, nonhuman animals, combatants in war, and convicted murderers.With chapters written by a wide range of experts in metaphysics, ethics, and conceptual analysis, and designed to give the reader a comprehensive view of recent developments in the philosophical study of death, this Handbook will appeal to a broad audience in philosophy, particularly in ethics and metaphysics.
