Oodles and oodles of life

[ChrisD(RJ)]

Spinoza-
"A free man thinks of death least of all things; and his wisdom is a
meditation not of death but of life."

...the last lines of Virginia Woolf's biography of Roger Fry.

I think Heidegger would regard this as the nec plus ultra of inauthenticity.
:)

Seriously, Heidegger's point is that since, according to the analysis in
Being and Time, human beings understand themselves and the world in terms of
the future, death is the ultimate determinate for human self- and
world-understanding. Turning away from death involves turning away from the
world and oneself.
