In this thought-provoking book, philosophy professor Shelly Kagan examines the myriad questions that arise when we confront the meaning of mortality. Do we have reason to believe in the existence of immortal souls? Or should we accept an account according to which people are just material objects, nothing more? Can we make sense of the idea of surviving the death of one's body? If I won't exist after I die, can death truly be \u003ci\u003ebad\u003c\/i\u003e for me? Would immortality be desirable? Is fear of death appropriate? Is suicide ever justified?
