This book is a three part analysis of suicide from a§philosophical perspective. First, this analysis is an§attempt to explain the phenomenon of suicide from an§evolutionary perspective.It is a thoroughly§Naturalistic analysis, one that pays homage to§Darwin's brilliant insight concerning the origins of§life.Second, many philosophers have written about the§definition and moral status of suicide. This analysis§sets forth the ideas of several highly influential§philosophers such as Plato, Immanuel Kant, and David§Hume. Third, I attempt to justify my definition of§suicide as well as its extension in the natural§world. If suicide is the intentional act of killing§oneself and if the distinction between intentionally§X-ing and intending to X is correct, then our§commonplace, intuitive understanding of the class of§actions which count as instances of suicide is§mistaken. Those agents who heroically sacrifice§themselves for the sake of others are included in the§definition, despite the altruistic intentions of the§agent. The rhetoric surrounding suicide is revealed§by analyzing the evolutionary factors which§contribute to self damaging behavior.
