This book combines Western history of death with sociology and philosophy to explore our approach to death. It examines sociological debates, the cultural construction of death and uses existential phenomenology and Freudian psychology to examine the search for meaning in our finite lives.

Finn Bowring is Senior Lecturer in the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University.
