RT Article T1 The Fear of Death JF New blackfriars VO 90 IS 1028 SP 413 OP 423 A1 Chappell, Sophie Grace 1964- LA English YR 2009 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1780350147 AB Taking a somewhat indirect route that includes some autobiographical reflection, I address three questions. One is what it might mean to say, with Socrates, that philosophy is “studying for death”. The second is why Christians should fear death at all, if the good of Heaven is really what they believe is beyond it. The third is the question what difference it makes to your philosophical view of death if you are a believer.
