Question

Herbert Fingarette wrote a series of “philosophical soundings” about this concept, which he later contradicted in a 2018 video essay that was republished by The Atlantic. Interest in the work of Otto Rank was revived by a 1973 book by Ernest Becker titled for the denial of (10[1])this concept. This concept is the subject of a symmetry argument proposed at the end of the third book of De rerum (10[1])natura. (10[1])In his Letter to Menoeceus (“men-EE-see-us”), Epicurus argues that this concept “is nothing to us” because only the expectation (10[1])of it causes (10[1])pain. (10[1])In the Phaedo, a philosopher (10[1])advises against fearing this concept (-5[1])via a series of arguments for the immortality (-5[1])of the soul. For 10 points, Socrates experienced what event after drinking hemlock? ■END■ (10[1])
