Technocratic Dying in an Age of Spiritual Yearning

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Analyzes dying and death in the cosmopolitan setting. While providing a portrait of dying, this book also tells us a great deal about life. It demonstrates that the foundation for the medicalization of death that shapes the life experience of dying persons and loved ones is a product of the ways of life in the broader culture.
