Simon Critchley, in his book The Book of Dead Philosophers, argues that thinking about death is fundamental to our being human: "To philosophize, then, is to learn how to have death in your mouth," But how do we acquire “death in our mouths”? How do we think death? And what does this thinking have to do with literature, with reading and writing? This course will examine these questions.
