Genius & Death

What the Greatest Minds Thought About the Ultimate Mystery

Every human being will die. Death is not necessarily a common topic of conversation, but it is a universal experience. However, it is also tinged by a sense of the arcane and the obscure, since people who die can’t generally share their experiences with the rest of humanity. Thus, we look to the wisdom of the living in order to attempt to comprehend death. Victor Methos, author, attorney, and philosopher, in this book has examined the varied viewpoints regarding death and its significance to ten of the greatest intellects mankind has ever produced. These renowned thinkers emerged from many fields of influence (some overlapping), such as science, psychiatry, poetry, and philosophy. Methos summarizes each of their ideologies and conveys his own impressions of their theories in a style that is easy to follow and grasp. In this short work intended to be read in one sitting, Methos has collected the thoughts and philosophies of the most respected members of our race, Homo sapiens, regarding, as Hamlet states, that "undiscovered country."
