Den Tod überleben: Vom Umgang mit dem Unfassbaren. Mit Wilhelm Schmid

In the organizer's words:

A popular method of dealing with death is not to talk about it. But it doesn't help: for the time being, death remains the end of life for everyone. The only differences are the time and manner of death. It usually comes too soon and leaves behind a lot of suffering. Can the drama be mitigated by the assumption that death is not the end of all life? In Surviving Death, the philosopher Wilhelm Schmid ("Gelassenheit") takes another serious look at the question that has preoccupied people since time immemorial: Where does the one who dies go? Is there really life after death? Can the mere possibility be a consolation? "Schmid not only has the gift of putting great meaning into small sentences. Schmid also has wit. (...) His subject is serious, but his tone is almost cheerful, relaxed." (Spiegel) Mod.: Julia Schöning
