Confronting Death


Overview

""Well organized, well argued, and well written . . . "" —Choice ""It is a lively document, with vigorous arguments leading to opinions that are controversial but strongly held."" —Joseph M. Foley, Medical Humanities Review "" . . . Momeyer's book has much to recommend it . . . The book would surely be a suitable focus for an undergraduate course in dealing with the philosophical issues involving death and our attitudes towards it."" —David J. Mayo, Teaching Philosophy ""This book is valuable and important in bringing conceptual clarification to questions about dealing with death that are so often neglected or mishandled by social scientists and the counseling industry."" —Ethics An examination of the moral and philosophical issues at work in an individual's confrontation of death, not as a matter of psychological necessity or social conditioning, but as a function of reflection and the search for self-knowledge.
