Death by Thomas Nagel

In Thomas Nagel's "death", he asked if death was a bad thing if death was a permanent end of our existence. In addition to dealing with whether death is a bad thing, Nagel is also worried about what people have to fear. He will also explore whether death is evil. Death is defined as permanent death without any form of consciousness and evil is defined as depriving a certain quality or characteristic. In his conclusion he repeated that the conscious being ended with death, and experiences that did not experience death and death ultimately took away his life.

The question at the beginning of Thomas Nagel's death is whether "it is bad thing to die if death is a clear and permanent end to our existence". For some people like hedonists, death is not bad. They advocated the idea that people hurt that he had an unpleasant mental state. In addition, hedonicists also believe that people suffer when suffering and injure someone when he or she is alive. Therefore, even if a person dies, that person never gets injured. Death is the end of the theme

Epicurus parallel Thomas Nagel believes that without unpleasant evidence it can not mark a particular thing as bad. If death is a bad thing for a person, that is only a bad thing if it makes a real complaint to people. Only when a person has the ability to engage in a conscious experience, something can become positively uncomfortable for people. In other words, this conscious experience feels discomfort. But dead people have no conscious experience. Therefore, death is not a bad thing. Nagel simplifies this sentence as "You can not hurt you if you do not know." In addition, Nagel considers ambiguity about unfortunate subjects. Nagel has decided not to have a subject that can not condemn death because of misfortune. Because, as long as there are people, he will not die, because when he dies he will not exist. Therefore, there is no time to assign "misfortune" of death to that subject.

At the undergraduate level, I am a philosophical student, and this famous article by Dr. Thomas Nagel plagues me. "What is a bat", Nagel believes that knowing what it is a question of what it is. Since we do not have bat experience, we certainly do not know how it feels that it is a bat. Only we can understand our experience, others can not understand
