You can support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chenphilosophy Tom Cochrane is a British-Australian philosopher working at Flinders University in Adelaide. Website: https://sites.google.com/view/tomcochranephilosophy/ Summary:In this interview, we discuss how we can address the fear of death. Cochrane argues that our fear of death comes from our will to live; hence, one way to address the fear is to change this underlying motivation. He argues that we can encourage a natural tendency for the will to live to decline as we approach death. We also talk a bit about religion and its role in addressing this fear.
