Ben Bradley, professor of philosophy at Syracuse University, will present the paper, "How Should We Feel About Death?" on Thursday, Feb. 26, at 4 p.m. in the Johnson Auditorium at Coastal Carolina University. This event is sponsored by the Jackson Family Center for Ethics & Values and is free and open to the public.

This Philosopher's Corner discussion will explore what kind of attitudes toward death are rational. Bradley will try to answer some of life's tougher questions. Is death bad for the one who dies? Do we cease to exist when we die? Is it worse to die as an infant or as a young adult? Is there any way to make death less of a bad thing? Should we be afraid of our own death?

Bradley is chair of the philosophy department at Syracuse University and works primarily in ethical theory and the philosophy of death. His book, "Well-Being and Death," was recently published by Oxford University Press (OUP). He has also co-edited a collection for OUP, called the "Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Death." Lately he has been working on articles on the objectivity of well-being, the nature of harm and the value of nature.

The Johnson Auditorium is in room 116 in the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration, located at 119 Chanticleer Drive E. in Conway.
