Written by thirty-five leading scholars, The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Suicide provides a fresh and compelling analysis of past and contemporary trends in the field. Divided into three parts, it starts with a critical overview of the most important historical philosophical approaches to suicide throughout the world and goes on to discuss the nature, morality, and rationality of suicide. The final section covers philosophical issues related to the practice of suicide, addressing the ethics of suicide prevention and intervention, new suicide technologies, suicide and mental illness, suicide and media ethics, and suicide and gender.
