Description:
Suicide is everywhere. It haunts history and current events. It haunts our own networks of friends and family. The specter of suicide looms large, but the topic is taboo because any meaningful discussion must at the very least consider that the answer to the question — ‘is life worth living?’ — might not be an emphatic yes; it might even be a stern no. Through a sweeping historical overview of suicide, a moving literary survey of famous suicide notes, and a psychological analysis of himself, Simon Critchley offers us an insight into what it means to possess the all too human gift and the curse of being able to choose life or death.Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this presentation the participant will: (1) describe a more philosophically nuanced (a) interpretation of suicide and (b) value of life in the face of suffering (2) analyze ethical subtexts of personal understanding and approaches to human identity and suffering (3) apply Critchley’s philosophical scholarship on depression and suicide to clinical scenarios and practice
