(Publisher-supplied data) The ancient philosophical school of Epicureanism tried to argue that death is "nothing to us." Were they right? James Warren provides a comprehensive study and articulation of the interlocking arguments against the fear of death found not only in the writings of Epicurus himself, but also in Lucretius' poem De rerum natura and in Philodemus' work De morte. These arguments are central to the Epicurean project of providing ataraxia (freedom from anxiety) and therefore central to an understanding of Epicureanism as a whole. They also offer significant resources for modern discussions of the value of death--one which stands at the intersection of metaphysics and ethics.

La volonté de perpétuer ou de manifester sa situation privilégiée après la mort semble un trait commun à beaucoup de sociétés humaines. Les gestes effectués avant et pendant l'inhumation, le choix du lieu et la structure de la tombe prennent ainsi une dimension symbolique, politique, sociale, religieuse ou économique. Les contributions contenues dans ce volume interrogent notamment la mise en scène des funérailles et la représentation commémorative du défunt, le rôle du lieu de sépulture comme expression des pouvoirs laïcs ou religieux, la reconnaissance et la signification des inhumations dites « privilégiées» à l'intérieur de l'espace funéraire.
