520 a| "Death is a basic condition of man, the focus of our fears and the prerequisite for our aspirations. Ideas about death characterize all cultures and have given rise to both world religions and local myths. In secular environments, however, the existence of death is more hidden. Life-prolonging measures have replaced the idea of death as meaningful in itself or a passage into the unknown. This volume covers the entire spectrum of death's forms with global scope and historical depth; from some of the earliest recorded poetic texts via religious source texts and shamanistic practices to current philosophical and scientific perspectives. In twenty-four essays, Swedish and international experts explore different ways of approaching death. The contributions cover Egyptian and Sumerian realms of death, the ethics of the great religions, ancient and modern theories of the soul and consciousness, as well as artistic and literary representations. At the center of this richly illustrated anthology is the question of what history can teach us about our own dealings with death and the dead. The book is also available in a Swedish edition."--/bokforlagetstolpe.com/en/books/on-death-perspectives-on-endings-and-eternities/;
