Original link: https://yousazoe.top/archives/b4f250e7.html

introduction

In “Philosophy: Death”, one of the most popular open courses in international famous schools, Professor Shelley Kagan challenged many of our accustomed or unthought-out views on death, and invited students to systematically reflect on the philosophical mystery of death for a clearer view. The concept explores the meaning of death, from metaphysics to values, and thinks seriously and rationally about the truth of life and death. With a deep awareness of death, there will be a deep understanding of the value of life.
