This is a great introduction to philosophical thinking.
10 Nov 1997
Format:Paperback
_Confrontations with the Reaper_ is a good introduction to philosophical thinking. It is very well written and full of life. Many classroom discussions will pour from its pages.
The philosophy club at my college is using this text for a discussion along with Camus, Woody Allen, and _The Bagavad Gita_.
The only problem with it is that it is so analytic that it seems to suggest materialism as an idea human state to be in, but that's just my personal problem with the book.
If you're studying the philosophy of death or are in a college philosophy club this one's a great pick.

Most useful contemporary work on this topic.
8 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
Feldman's analysis is cogent and creative, a hard combination to achieve. Worth reading and re-reading -- and invaluable to students.
