- W4237626011 abstract "This article explicates Epicurus’s ambiguous declaration that “death is nothing to us,” discusses its philosophical implications, and answers the most common recent philosophical objections to the view. One barrier to appreciating Epicurus’s view has been lack of understanding what he meant, and the author clarifies Epicurus’s idea using Epicurean texts. Since Epicurus used his view to undermine death anxiety, the author discusses fear of death and how Epicurean thinking treats it. The paper discusses flaws in recent philosophical objections against Epicurus’s view, that it ignores what death deprives people of, that it is incompatible with the wrongness of killing, and that it does not permit certain comparative value judgments about life and death. Since the view has implications for the death penalty, the author discusses those, and urges that Epicurean philosophy of death can profitably illuminate contemporary thinking." @default.
