1. Does the Idea of Death, Shape the Way We Perceive Reality? - a podcast by A.J.E. (Philosopher of Psychiatry)

This episode explores how the “problem of death” (i.e., our continual self-awareness of our own mortality), shapes and influences the way we conceptualize ourselves, our priorities, our goals, and the world we see around us. In addition, this episode also explores the relationships between the problem of death and the three general conceptual models of reality that we have developed as a species, namely, materialism, dualism, and idealism.



















There is a 10 minute segment in this episode (26:45 — 36:30) that explores the existentialist philosophical perspective on death, meaninglessness, and suicide. If you're thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support you can reach someone to talk to at these following numbers:
