François Dagognet et Tobie Nathan ont décidé de travailler ensemble sur le problème de la mort car il leur semblait que les textes actuellement disponibles étaient insuffisants : le deuil était renvoyé à une question psychologique, à la souffrance psychique. Or, François Dagognet et Tobie Nathan ont un point de départ qui leur est commun : l'importance accordée aux objets. Pour Tobie Nathan, si l'on veut comprendre les problèmes posés à des personnes par un deuil, il faut regarder comment on a traité le corps et les biens qui appartenaient au défunt : voilà le notaire dans la situation du psychothérapeute ! Pour François Dagognet, il faut d'abord analyser les pratiques funéraires puisque la mort est avant tout un phénomène social et humain total, plus encore qu'un instant décisif de la vitalité qui se termine. François Dagognet et Tobie Nathan ont écrit de manière alternative, se répondant et argumentant tout au long des chapitres de ce livre.

Richly informed by readings of Heidegger, Derrida, and Blanchot, the author argues that the notion of responsibility at the heart of Levinas's notion of ethics is intimately dependent upon his account of death.

When George Washington died in 1799, towns throughout the country commemorated the event with solemn processions featuring empty coffins. In contrast, after Abraham Lincoln's death in 1865, his body was transported around the North and displayed for more than two weeks, for by then corpses could be autopsied, drained of their blood, and beautified for the benefit of mourners. This absorbing book explores the changing attitudes toward death and the dead in northern Protestant communities during the nineteenth century. Gary Laderman offers insights into the construction of an "American way of death," illuminating the central role of the Civil War and tracing the birth of the funeral industry in the decades following the war.Drawing on medical histories, religious documents, personal diaries and letters, literature, painting, and photography, Laderman examines the cultural transformations that led to nationally organized death specialists, the practice of embalming, and the commodification of the corpse. These cultural changes included the development of liberal theology, which provided more spiritual views of heaven and the afterlife; the concern for health, which turned those who managed death toward more scientific treatment of bodies; and growing sentimentalism, which produced an increased desire to gaze upon the corpse or to take and keep death photographs. In particular Laderman focuses on the transforming effect of the Civil War, which presented so many Americans with dead relatives who needed to be recovered, viewed, and given a "proper burial."
