Facing death epicurus and his critics [electronic resource] / James Warren. - 1 online resource (viii, 240 pages). - Oxford Scholarship Online. .

Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-232) and index (pages 233-241).

James Warren examines and evaluates the argument that death is 'nothing to us'. He sets this against modern philosophical accounts of how death can be a harm and asks whether a life free from all fear of death is an attractive option and what the consequences would be of a full acceptance of the Epicureans' views.
