Excellent series
After listening to this series, I find myself more open minded about death. Kagan goes into the nature of death clearly and coherently describing what it means to die. After first describing the process and nature of death, he goes into its consequences. Often witty, he gives reasonable examples and strong analogies. He, ironically, also defines the value of life and the course has life affirming qualities. The first part of the series attempts to establish the theory that there is no soul. After that he goes into what it means to die and what it means to be alive on the basis that there is no soul. Very good overall, would reccommend the entire series, with the small caveat that the last few lectures on suicide are a bit dull (Could have been covered in one lecture). Enjoyed the series greatly.
