Produktbeschreibung

The Socratic dialogue in this book discusses life & death with reference to the prominent suicides of so-called "successful people". The narrative presents classical & modern philosophies, Judeo-Islamo-Christian & Eastern theologies, secular psychology, and world history in simple easy-to-read language. • The philosophical study deeply investigates the plausibility of atheism through an exploration of existentialism, nihilism, Marxism, bad faith, and the problem of evil. • The theological study is a comparative analysis of Judeo-Islamo-Christian & Eastern theologies with regards to modern spirituality, hypocrisy, basis for faith, mysticism, and martyrdom. • The psychological study explores Freud's focus on pleasure & sexuality, Adler's focus on power & dominance, Frankl's focus on suffering & meaning, and Jung's focus on self-actualization. • The historical study investigates various topics in social history, the histories of the three Abrahamic civilizations (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), and the history of Marxism. ---------------------------------- These keywords describe what is covered in this book.
