In this episode, I discuss 5 quotes from philosophers throughout history on the subject of death. If the presence of death is something which causes us needless anxiety - which it no doubt does for many of us - then we must think deeply and try to understand what it really is, seeing beyond the fear we tend to project.
If you found any of these quotes interesting, here are their sources for further reading:
Socrates - Plato's Apology
Seneca - Essay "On the Shortness of Life"
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
Alan Watts - Lecture on Buddhism from the "Out of Your Mind" series
Thomas Nagel - The Absurd in Mortal Questions
