Reseña del libro "On Death: Perspectives on Endings and Eternities (en Inglés)"

Death is man's basic condition, the fixed point of our fears and the prerequisite for our aspirations. Ideas about death characterize all cultures and have given rise to both world religions and local myths. In secular environments, however, the existence of death is more obscured. Life-prolonging measures have replaced the idea of death as meaningful in itself or a passage into the unknown. This volume covers the full spectrum of death's guises with global scope and historical depth; from some of the earliest recorded poetic texts via religious sources and shamanistic practices to prevailing philosophical and scientific perspectives.In twenty-four essays, Swedish and international experts explore different ways of approaching death. Contributions include Egyptian and Sumerian realms of the dead, the ethics of the major religions, ancient and modern theories of the soul and consciousness, and artistic and literary representations. At the center of this richly illustrated anthology is the question of what history can teach us about our own dealings with death and the dead.
