Where Do People Go When They Die?

Publisher Bayard
COLLECTION Les petites conférences
GENRE Sociology
Keywords Death - Philosophy
If a deceased person appeared in a dream with a task for you, would you pursue it upon waking?

Where do people go when they die? This profound, intimate, and universal question crosses borders and speaks to both children and adults. Philosopher, psychologist, and professor Vinciane Despret takes us on a journey around the world to explore the many ways we accompany our dead: the rites, traditions, and perceptions unique to each culture. A philosophical reflection on how we care for those we love as they depart, and how to better understand the invisible, enduring bond we continue to share with them.
