Oodles and oodles of rights

[ChrisD(RJ)]

This is I guess a matter of personal response. I still find Lucretius
pretty satisfactory: when you're dead you won't know it so what's the
fuss. The phrase "understanding of death" gives "Death" a capital letter
- -- which seems silly.

My death is somehing perfectly real, though it (barring some kind of
subsequent existence) means my non-existence. This was part of Heidegger's
point in Sein und Zeit; that death, like the Nothing (by which he really
means being in general), is neither an object nor an absolute nullity
either.
