Not sure if this is allowed here, and it's not my playlist, but I thought I'd post these tutorials since I've found them helpful for learning the basics.

University Course Code: PHIL 176

Subject: #philosophy #death #metaphysics #valuetheory

Year: Spring 2007

Description: There is one thing I can be sure of: I am going to die. But what am I to make of that fact? This course will examine a number of issues that arise once we begin to reflect on our mortality. The possibility that death may not actually be the end is considered. Are we, in some sense, immortal? Would immortality be desirable? Also a clearer notion of what it is to die is examined. What does it mean to say that a person has died? What kind of fact is that? And, finally, different attitudes to death are evaluated. Is death an evil? How? Why? Is suicide morally permissible? Is it rational? How should the knowledge that I am going to die affect the way I live my life?
