"It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die", wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC-65 AD). He counseled readers to "study death always", and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings, yet he never treated it in a complete work.

Romm, How to Die reveals a provocative thinker who speaks with a startling frankness about the need to accept death or even, under certain conditions, to seek it out.

At home, pestilence hollowed out cities and farms. Yet amid chaos, the emperor sat by firelight in a soldier’s tent, writing meditations to himself about humility, duty, and the fleeting nature of power. The Philosopher King tells the sweeping, visceral story of Rome’s last ...

This is the only action through which humans can exercise their distinctively unique trait: the ability to reason.

The biblical charges to "love your neighbor as yourself" and to "do to others as you would have them do to you" are at the heart of Abrahamic faith. DeCort argues that they are also at the heart of some of the most groundbreaking developments in human rights and the common good.
