Philosophical perspectives on suicideKant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein /[electronic resource] :by Paolo Stellino. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - xiv, 248 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction: Bringing Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein Together -- Chapter 2: Immanuel Kant. The Moral Duty of Self-Preservation -- Chapter 3: Arthur Schopenhauer. The Metaphysical Futility of Suicide -- Chapter 4: Friedrich Nietzsche. A Free Death at the Right Time -- Chapter 5: Ludwig Wittgenstein. Suicide as the Elementary Sin -- Chapter 6: Conclusion: What Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein Can Teach Us about Suicide.

This book aims to address in a novel way some of the fundamental philosophical questions concerning suicide. Focusing on four major authors of Western philosophy - Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein - their arguments in favour or against suicide are explained, contextualized, examined and critically assessed. Taken together, these four perspectives provide an illuminating overview of the philosophical arguments that can be used for or against one's right to commit suicide. Intended both for specialists and those interested in understanding the many complexities underlying the philosophical debate on suicide, this book combines philosophical depth with exemplary clarity.
