Thinking Clearly about Death (Second Edition,2)

Jay Rosenberg's penetrating and persuasively argued analysis of the central metaphysical and moral questions pertaining to death has been updated and revised to expand and deepen several of its key arguments and to address conceptual developments of the past fifteen years.

Among the topics discussed are: Life After Death; The Limits of Theorizing; The Limits of Imagination; Death and Personhood; Values and Rights; Mercy Killing; Prolonging Life; Rational Suicide; and One's Own Death.

Rosenberg's prose is lucid, lively, thoroughly absorbing, and accessible to introductory-level readers.

Essential reading for anyone interested in reflecting on this engaging topic.
