Ep. 205: Suicide with Dr. Drew (Durkheim et al) (Part One)

from The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · host Mark Linsenmayer

We are rejoined by Drew Pinsky to discuss philosophical and psychological readings by Seneca, Arthur Schopenhauer, Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim, Albert Camus, plus two 2017 survey papers on predictors of suicide. Is suicide ever morally permissible? If it's a symptom of mental illness rather than a chosen behavior, is it even appropriate to morally evaluate it?
