Epicurus and the Singularity of Death: Defending Radical Epicureanism
New York: Bloomsbury Academic (2020)
Abstract
Epicurus's claim that "death is nothing to us" is defended. The usual concepts of harm, loss and suffering do not apply in the case of death. Immortality need not be bad. Epicurean prudence does not recommend suicide. Some issues in applied ethics are also discussed: the right to life, egoistic friendship, wills, and life insurance.Author's Profile
