Focusing on four major authors of Western philosophy - Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein - their arguments in favour or against suicide are explained, contextualized, examined and critically assessed. Taken together, these four perspectives provide an illuminating overview of the philosophical arguments that can be used for or against one's right to commit suicide. Intended both for specialists and those interested in understanding the many complexities underlying the philosophical debate on suicide, this book combines philosophical depth with exemplary clarity. 606 $aEthics 606 $aIdealism, German 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aGerman Idealism 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aIdealism, German. 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aGerman Idealism. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Religion. 676 $a193 700 $aStellino$b Paolo$0480910 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910430356303321 996 $aPhilosophical perspectives on suicide$92168997 997 $aUNINA
