Suicide is a belated acquiesence in the opinion of one's wife's relatives.

is a clumsy experiment that tests the effect of death on man's insight into the nature of things, but does so a the cost of the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.

Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man's existence and in his insight into the nature of things' It is a clumsy experiment to make... for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer. Arthur Schopenhauer

is a confession that life is absurd and not worth living.

amounts to a confession that life is not worth living. He links this confession to what he calls the 'feeling of absurdity.

is a form of cowardice. It is true that one committing it braves death, but he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.

To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill. Aristotle

is a kind of agency, a choice of the direction of one's thought and the direction of one's faculties, one's tendencies, one's reality.

By suicide I introduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will . . . now I choose the direction of my thought and the direction of my faculties, my tendencies, my reality. Antonin Artaud

is a mark of sublimity. The termination of life in the face of the cruelty of disease or of people is sublime.The decision about autothanatos (suicide) is not a big decision, it is important to die in an honest, peaceful and courageous way.

Seneca suicide is a mark of sublimity. Seneca equates death to non-being: mors est non esse15, holding as sublime the termination oflife in the face of the cruelty of disease or of people. e. This is valid in particular for the elite ofsociety: it is more appropriate to terminate one's own life than to face humiliation, fear ofthe future, sickness or old age.16 The decision about autothanatos (suicide) is not a bigdecision, it is important to die in an honest, peaceful and courageous way. A substantial parton the stoical concept of a good death is serenity and equableness...17 one leaves composedlywhen the inevitable hour of death comes.18 Seneca also formulated a truth which is stillvalid and even more significant in our societies, where death has become taboo andsomething that has to be suppressed and curbed: Non mortem timemus sed cogitationem mortis(We do not fear death but the thinking on death).19 (p 10)

is a moral problem in that an excessive suicide rate signals the existence of a social pathology and the potential for social decomposition (a social analogue to individual suicide).

There are two sides to Durkheim's approach to suicide, but not two approaches. For Durkheim, suicide is at once and inseparably a social problem and a moral problem. As a social problem, suicide is to be mapped, categorized and analysed, and solutions to it are to be conceived of as social solutions: thus, for example, Durkheim does not propose that all instances of suicide can be entirely prevented, because the eradication of (all) individual cases is not the central aim. At the same time, because society is a collective, moral entity, suicide can be defined as a problem only in the sense that it also, potentially, constitutes a moral one. An excessive suicide rate signals the existence of a social pathology and the potential for social decomposition (a social analogue to individual suicide)...

is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Suicide is a choice and I think if we work with that with kids, we'll get somewhere. Peter Lynch
