| Summary: |
In this speculative article, the aim is to elaborate a definition of life that is not biological, and a valuation of it that is not commodified. This is undertaken by the
development of an understanding of death as a process which is embedded in the life of a community. The idea is that we can best understand what life is worth by first
understanding what death means. |
