• TITLE: Is There Such a Thing as a Good Death?

  AUTHORS: Ashutosh Sharma

  KEYWORDS: Good Death, Self-Affirmation, Ethical Frameworks, Existentialism

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Philosophy, Vol.15 No.2, March 31, 2025

  ABSTRACT: This paper examines the concept of a “good death” through various philosophical lenses. It deconstructs traditional ethical frameworks, including deontological, utilitarian, and virtue ethics approaches, revealing their limitations in addressing the deeply personal nature of death. The essay argues for a perspective that views death as a final act of self-affirmation and meaning-making. It explores historical conceptions of honorable death and challenges conventional morality. The paper concludes that a “good death” transcends universal principles or utilitarian calculations and instead resonates with personal meaning and purpose. It asserts that such a death reflects the culmination of an authentically lived life, affirming individual sovereignty and leaving a lasting legacy.
