O knihe
This work presents a re-visitation and argumentation for a Stoic view on suicide, based chiefly on the writings of Seneca the Younger, but also with reference to Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Musonius Rufus. It examines various definitions and types of suicide, considerations of the right to suicide, and Spinoza's view on the impossibility of suicide. The work is an interesting and challenging new presentation of arguments found throughout Stoic philosophy advocating that given certain situations Suicide, far from being a negative act, can be argued to be the ultimate act and expression of freedom.
