Brain death--history and debate. 330 $aThe ever-present possibility of death forces upon us the question of life’s meaning and for this reason death has been a central concern of philosophers throughout history. From Socrates to Heidegger, philosophers have grappled with the nature and significance of death. In Annihilation, Christopher Belshaw explores two central questions at the heart of philosophy’s engagement with death: what is death; and is it bad that we die? Belshaw begins by distinguishing between literal and metaphorical uses of the term and offers a unified and biological account of death, denying that death brings about non-existence. How our death relates to the death of the brain is explored in detail. Belshaw considers the common-sense view that death is often bad for us by examining the circumstances that might make it bad as well as the grounds for thinking that one death can be worse than another. In addition, Belshaw explores whether we can be harmed after we die and before we were born. The final chapters explore whether we should prevent more deaths and whether, via cryonics, brain transplants, data storage, we might cheat death. Throughout Belshaw shows how questions of personhood and life’s value are bound up with our views on the sense and significance of death. Annihilation’s in-depth analysis and insightful exposition will be welcomed not only by philosophers working on the metaphysics of death but also by students and scholars alike looking for a foundation for discussions of the ethics of abortion, euthanasia, life-support and suicide. 606 $aDeath 606 $aImmortality (Philosophy) 615 0$aDeath. 615 0$aImmortality (Philosophy) 676 $a128.5 700 $aBelshaw$b Christopher$0864734 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785429003321 996 $aAnnihilation$93722717 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05439nam 22007695 450 001 9910552737603321 005 20250604132139.0 010 $a9783030944926 010 $a3030944921 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-94492-6 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6926787 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6926787 035 $a(CKB)21403603300041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-94492-6 035 $a(EXLCZ)9921403603300041 100 $a20220315d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aNonverbal Communication in Close Relationships $eWhat words don?t tell us /$fedited by Robert J.

Non-verbal Communication in Relationships as a Link between Affect and Social Intelligence. 330 $aThis book is an up-to-date compendium of knowledge on the secret language of close relationships, namely nonverbal routes of communication. In close relationships, as everyone learns sooner or later, the usefulness of words can be somewhat limited, because people (a) mean different things by the same words, (b) mean the same thing by different words, (c) sometimes find it hard to express their feelings in words, and (d) lie. Nonverbal signals therefore often provide the best means of communication. The book points out how decoding (interpreting) nonverbal signals is a major key to success, because often what people say wholly belies how they feel?nonverbal signals reveal their true feelings rather than what they want other people to think their feelings are. This book helps decode those secret signals. The book is written by the leading worldwide experts in the field of nonverbal communication to ensure accuracy, comprehensiveness, and timeliness.
