About the Authors
  • John Bowker aporta nuevas y sustanciales propuestas a los debates en torno al valor de la muerte. Tras examinar la temática de la amistad y del sacrificio dentro de cada una de las principales religiones, Bowker sostiene que existen numerosos puntos de contacto vital entre ellas respecto a la experiencia de la muerte, y que las actitudes religiosas y laicas pueden respaldarse y reforzarse mutuamente. En nuestra respuesta a la privación y el dolor por la pérdida de los seres queridos tiene notable importancia una recuperación afirmativa del valor de la muerte, igualmente aplicable al tratamiento de los enfermos en fase terminal. Al indicar cómo puede mantenerse el valor de la vida en el límite de la misma, sin buscar una compensación ilusoria en el más allá, Bowker enriquece nuestra comprensión de la 'cuestión definitiva' y lo hace de una manera que es en todo momento sensata y frecuentemente conmovedora.
