Death doesn’t care about your story. It doesn’t care about race, gender, nationality, religion, or politics. Death is the “great leveller” – an egalitarian with a scythe. It comes for everyone, eventually, which is why human beings have written about it extensively. Philosophers, ostensibly human, are no different. They are well known to have one eye on the Grim Reaper at all times. And so, the history of philosophy is strewn with thought experiments about both mortality and its mirror: immortality.
