He writes with a freshness and vitality rarely met with in works of philosophy. Also includes \"The Moral Problem of Suicide\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the great masterpieces of 20th Century philosophy, its investigation and analysis of the \"Experience of Death\" is as searching and significant as that of Martin Heidegger in 'Being and Time'. For many years unavailable and therefore underestimated, this publication includes the two works by Landsberg that accompany each other the best: 'The Experience of Death' and 'The Moral Problem of Suicide'. Editor Edouard d'Araille here presents a revised version of Margaret Kerr's accurate translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul-Louis Landsberg was a philosopher who was closely associated with the group of Parisian thinkers embracing Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Emmanuel Mounier and others. He has been classified as an Existentialist thinker, due both to the subject matter of his work and realistic, humanistic approach he takes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHowever, it should be borne in mind that Landsberg is Christian in faith, and he approaches the topics of death and suicide both from a Christian and a secular point-of-view. It is especially interesting to see how he tackles the controversial issue of suicide from the standpoint of Christianity - an act seen by some branches of that religion as a mortal sin, making its agent unworthy of Christian burial.\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e - This \u003ci\u003eLiving Time(TM) Press\u003c\/i\u003e edition of Paul-Louis Landsberg's masterpiece includes: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eComplete Texts\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e of these key works - '\u003ci\u003eThe Experience of Death\u003c\/i\u003e' and '\u003ci\u003eOn the Moral Problem of Suicide\u003c\/i\u003e'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBiographical Sketch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e of Paul-Louis Landsberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTextual Annotations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e to both works, included at the end of the volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSelect Bibliography\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e of his philosophical works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eB\u0026amp;W illustration\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e as a frontispiece to the work (relating to the '\u003ci\u003eIntermezzo in the Bull Ring\u003c\/i\u003e')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe core contents of the two philosophical essays are as follows: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Experience of Death\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eI.

A Personal View\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough both of these works are deeply personal and it is true that Landsberg is a Christian by denomination, in no way does he implore the reader to take up his own faith and he presents ideas and perspectives that are of equal interest to the atheist. The reader will find it valuable to read Heidegger's analysis of death in 'Being and Time' alongside this book, as it presents a wholly atheistic existential analysis that contrasts interestingly with this one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eWhat is the meaning of death to the human being as a person? The question admits of no conclusion, for we are dealing with the very mystery of man, taken from a certain aspect. Every real problem in philosophy contains all the others in the unity of mystery. It is necessary, therefore, to set a limit and seek a basis in experience for any possible answer: there are always problems of the utmost importance left on one side. Our enquiry would seem inevitable in the present state of philosophy, for we are far from having a metaphysics of death, as we have of life.\u003c\/i\u003e\" - \u003cb\u003ePaul-\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461285757106,"sku":"9781903331590","price":34.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/Ru8wFv4dy29781903331590.webp?v=1782847354","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-experience-of-death-and-the-moral-problem-of-suicide-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
