The argument Against Fearing Death proposes the surprising thesis that you
|
||
|
|
should not fear being dead because it is not bad for you. The author states it
|
||
|
|
as follows on #cite(<Korman2022-KORLFA>, supplement: [p. 74]):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#indented-argument(
|
||
|
|
title: "Against Fearing Death",
|
||
|
|
abbreviation: "FD",
|
||
|
|
[ You cease to be conscious when you die ],
|
||
|
|
[ If you cease to be conscious when you die, then being dead is not bad for you ],
|
||
|
|
[ So, being dead is not bad for you ],
|
||
|
|
[ If being dead is not bad for you, then you should not fear death ],
|
||
|
|
[ So, you should not fear death ],
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To support premise FD2, the author argues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
= Don't kill yourself
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#indented-argument(
|
||
|
|
title: "Argument for Killing Yourself",
|
||
|
|
abbreviation: "KYS",
|
||
|
|
[You are conscious when you are alive],
|
||
|
|
[Something is bad for you if and only if it results in more pain than you otherwise would have had],
|
||
|
|
[If you are conscious, you experience more pain than you otherwise would have if you were unconscious],
|
||
|
|
[So, being alive is bad for you],
|
||
|
|
[If you are unconscious when you are dead, then being dead isn't bad for you],
|
||
|
|
[If being alive is bad for you, then: if being dead isn't bad for you, you should kill yourself],
|
||
|
|
[So, you should kill yourself],
