How Philosophers Confront Death

Death is certain: we don't like thinking about it but it's true! But on Philosophy Tube we think about everything, so this episode confronts death head-on. We talk about why individuals find it so difficult to think about and plan for the end, what happens to YouTubers' channels when we die, and from there we shift gears. This is a video about Gaza, and COVID, and climate change, because our refusal to think about death enables us to keep ignoring it on a mass scale, even when our societies are implicated in it. From there we go into some broader artistic reflections about the difficulty of making art (or indeed content) about dying.
