Así como se vive se muere: La experiencia de la muerte en los pentecostales en el Estado de Veracruz

January 2009

Felipe Vasquez

Abstract This work attempts to link different modes of death with different ways of living that I have received in the Pentecostal believers. The models are built based on the circumstances and situations where the death is presented in accordance with the testimony that the family, brothers in faith, friends and neighbors offered the life of the now defunct. El presente trabajo, intenta ... [Show full abstract] relacionar los diferentes modos de morir con las diferentes formas de vivir que he percibido en los creyentes pentecostales.

The death of Mufti Rizaetdin Fahretdin in the Tatar émigré press

June 2019 · Minbar Islamic Studies

D. M. Usmanova

The author analyzes and discusses the responses of the Turkic-Tatar emigre press to the death of Mufti Rizaetdin Fahretdin (April 1936). Particular attention is paid to the obituary by Rashid-qadi (Gabderashid Ibragimov), which was published in the Tokyobased journal Yana Japan Muhbire. There are several reasons to consider this text as rather remarkable. First, it sheds more life on the ... [Show full abstract] relationship between these two people who lived at the same time. Although being remarkable theologians of their time, they still were quite different personalities. Second, an obituary in the Tokyo émigré journal is less known to the scholars who work on this subject. Its publication elucidates some hitherto unclear aspects. Of particular value are also two letters addressed by the mufti to his friend who lived in exile. These letters, unknown to most researchers who study the life and work of Riza Fahretdin, should be added to the epistolary heritage of this outstanding Tatar theologian.

Sassolo da Prato’s Correspondence with Leonardo Dati, ca. 1443–1444

January 2014

Anja Silvia Goeing

Sassolo da Prato included a description of Vittorino in a letter that he sent in 1443–1444 to his friend, the humanist Leonardo Dati in Florence. This vita is the first of the vitae of Vittorino da Feltre, and it is the most contemporary: Vittorino was living and teaching when Sassolo wrote it. Because of this closeness, it is the closest to the historical memory of Vittorino. All other vitae ... [Show full abstract] were written after his death.

We Already Miss his Vigilance...

July 1980 · Telos

J. Daniel

I was not one of his friends. Thus I will speak of him. I understand the silence of the Sartrians today. I also agree with those who, not finding it useful to deny their disagreements, refuse to express them at the moment of his death. But with him, I was, we were, in an undefined, undefinable situation: we never finished our dialogue, even when there was no response from him, even when we ... [Show full abstract] expected nothing from him, even when we needed to seek elsewhere a directive more in agreement with us. It is only today that we can really understand what he wrote when Camus died and which at the time appeared to us fraternal but restrained: that a quarrel was nothing else but another way of living together.

Dementia, dignity, and physician-assisted death

January 2017

Rebecca S Dresser

As more people live into their later years, more of them become susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related dementias. Many people fear dementia, and some argue that physician-assisted death should be available to those seeking to avoid the indignity of life with dementia. Distinct issues surround the relationship of dignity and assisted death for potential or actual dementia ... [Show full abstract] patients. This chapter examines the role of dignity concerns in addressing (1) requests for assisted death by at-risk individuals to avoid a possible future with dementia, (2) requests for assisted death by individuals with mild or moderate dementia, and (3) advance directives requesting assisted death in the event of a later dementia diagnosis or appearance of specific behavioral manifestations of dementia (e.g., apparent inability to recognize family and friends).
