This book contributes to current bioethical debates by providing a critical analysis of the philosophy of human death. Bernard N. Schumacher discusses contemporary philosophical perspectives on death, creating a dialogue between phenomenology, existentialism and analytic philosophy. He also examines the ancient philosophies that have shaped our current ideas about death. His analysis focuses on three fundamental problems: (1) the definition of human death, (2) the knowledge of mortality and of human death as such, and (3) the question of whether death is 'nothing' to us or, on the contrary, whether it can be regarded as an absolute or relative evil. Drawing on scholarship published in four languages and from three distinct currents of thought, this volume represents a comprehensive and systematic study of the philosophy of death, one that provides a provocative basis for discussions of the bioethics of human mortality.

Cet ouvrage a pour but de nourrir, en s'appuyant sur l'interdisciplinarité, la réflexion sur la question de l'euthanasie de la personne vulnérable mais aussi de celle qui n'est plus, ou pas, en mesure d'exprimer sa volonté de manière explicite. La vie d'une personne devenue dramatiquement vulnérable – comme celle d'un malade atteint d'Alzheimer, d'un nouveau-né ou d'une personne gravement handicapée – vaut-elle encore la peine d'être vécue ? Si cette personne est capable de demander à être euthanasiée, peut-on, aux deux plans, éthique et sociétal, accéder à sa requête et la tuer ? Par ailleurs, comment se comporter avec celles qui ne sont pas, ou plus, capables de formuler une telle demande ? Philosophes, économiste, sociologue, médecins, infirmière, théologien, apportent leur contribution à cette réflexion sociétale.
