Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Biathanatos' is a provocative and complex treatise by the renowned metaphysical poet and cleric John Donne. In this daring work, Donne explores the controversial subject of self-homicide, challenging the absolute condemnation of the act by the Church and the law of his time. Written with the intellectual rigor and paradoxical wit characteristic of Donne's prose, the text argues that suicide is not inherently a 'sin against nature' or a violation of divine law in every instance, suggesting instead that it may be justifiable under specific circumstances of charity or devotion.
