Perspectives on Death: Intensive Course Philosophy #17

Today we talk about death, examining the philosophical approaches of Socrates, Epicurus and Zhuangzi. We will examine whether it makes sense to fear your own death or that of loved ones. Hank also discusses Thomas Nagel, death, and the fear of missing out.
