Beyond the Death of God
In 1882, Friedrich Nietzsche announced that “God is dead.” However, that was not the end of his speculations on the subject. He continued: “And we killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers” who brought God to die “under our knives.”

Beyond Price : Essays on Birth and Death
In this chapter I argue that a widely recognized right to die would have the paradoxical effect of harming some people who never exercise it as well as some who exercise it and are better off for doing so. Even more paradoxically, recognition of such a right would make it difficult if not impossible to define a class of people to whom it should be accorded in practice.

Time and identity
The concepts of time and identity seem at once unproblematic and frustratingly difficult. Time is an intricate part of our experience—it would seem that the passage of time is a prerequisite for having any experience at all—and yet recalcitrant questions about time remain. Is time real? Does time flow? Do past and future moments exist? Philosophers face similarly stubborn questions about id…

The craft of dying :the modern face of death
The fortieth-anniversary edition of a classic and prescient work on death and dying. Much of today's literature on end-of-life issues overlooks the importance of 1970s social movements in shaping our understanding of death, dying, and the dead body.
