PHIL 347N Week 3 Discussion Question 1
Greek Philosopher Epicurus suggested that we should not be afraid of our own death, because we are not harmed by it. When you are alive, you have not been harmed by your own death, because it has not yet occurred. When you are dead, you no longer exist, so you cannot be harmed. These are the only two possible states. Because you cannot be harmed by your death when you are alive, and you cannot be harmed by your death when you are dead, your death cannot be a harm to you at all. Therefore you should not fear it.
