Description
This collection of essays explores the impact of death and dying in contemporary society, particularly in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. It examines how individuals can confront the reality of death and propose a world that respects it while advocating for fairer wealth distribution. The concept of 'living death' serves as a central theme, challenging the Western tendency to avoid discussions about mortality. Drawing on the philosophy of Simone Weil, the book argues for acknowledging human limitations to better understand our relationship with power and existence.
