"Death" book discussion with Houston Science Enthusiasts
Details
Houston Science Enthusiasts is hosting a book-club type discussion of the book "Death" by Yale University philosophy professor Shelly Kagan, which "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 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?"
Everyone is welcome to participate in this IN PERSON conversation, whether you have explored the topic before or not.
