Death!!! Version 2.0

I’ve just uploaded a heavily revised version of my paper on the metaphysics and morals of death. Click here to check it out.

The format is altered somewhat. Section III is the most heavily revised, as it was on this section that I focused on most intensely over the course of the past semester. Sections II, IV, and V will be seeing more revision over the summer.

Section III includes an extension of Rothbard’s praxeological critique of the Buridan’s ass example used by indifference theorists in economics to the argument for indifference to death put forth by Epicurus. In this section, I also extend Rand’s reification of the zero fallacy to the Epicurean argument.
