Book Description
Autothanasia and suicide; is there a moral difference? Dr van Hooff covers the facts, attitudes and reflections of philosophers and theologians concerning self-killing.Using almost a thousand case studies, both real and fictional, Dr van Hooff provides us with a unique and engaging insight into self-killing in the Graeco-Roman world.The author analyses the methods and motives which lie behind self-killing relating them to ancient popular morality as it appears in the various media and traces the development of the concept of self-murder, as opposed to the original idea of autothanasia, which lies at the root of the Christian abhorrence of suicide.
