But once we accept that fact, the questions begin. 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? 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 bad for me? Would immortality be desirable? Is fear of death appropriate? Is suicide ever justified? How should I live in the face of death?Written in an informal and conversational style, this stimulating and provocative book challenges many widely held views about death, as it invites the reader to take a fresh look at one of the central features of the human condition-the fact that we will die.Open Yale courses series.DeathOntologyElectronic books.Death.Ontology.128/.5Kagan Shelly775594MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461670703321Death2442761UNINA01339oam 2200397 a 450 991070082350332120120611132214.0(CKB)5470000002412785(OCoLC)795129937(EXLCZ)99547000000241278520120611d1998 ua 0engurbn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMulching[electronic resource] mulching enriches and protects soil, helping provide a better growing environment[Washington D.C.] :USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service :National Association of Conservation Districts :Wildlife Habitat Council,[1998]1 online resource (4 pages) illustrationsTitle from title screen (viewed on June 11, 2012)."April 1998."Mulching MulchingBackyard gardensMulching.Backyard gardens.National Association of Conservation Districts.Wildlife Habitat Council.United States.Natural Resources Conservation Service.GPOGPOGPOBOOK9910700823503321Mulching3534767UNINA01467nas 2200529-a 450 991014508560332120240810213015.01938-1980(DE-599)ZDB2540047-2(OCoLC)276291761(CKB)1000000000700524(CONSER)--2008214103(EXLCZ)99100000000070052420081124b20092018 s-- aengur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDermato-endocrinologyAustin, TX Landes Bioscience©2009-1 online resourceRefereed/Peer-reviewed1938-1972 DermatoendocrinolDermato-endocrinol.SkinDiseasesPeriodicalsSkin DiseasesSkinEndocrine SystemphysiopathologySkinDiseasesfast(OCoLC)fst01120068PeauMaladiesPériodiquesPeriodicalPeriodicals.fastPeriodicals.lcgftDermatologySkinDiseasesSkin DiseasesSkinEndocrine SystemphysiopathologySkinDiseases.PeauMaladies616.5JOURNAL9910145085603321Dermato-endocrinology2170680UNINA
