The Art of Dying is a contemporary exploration of achieving a good death, inspired by the medieval Ars Moriendi. Peter Fenwick, a distinguished neuropsychiatrist and expert in brain disorders, focuses on end-of-life phenomena, including near-death experiences and deathbed visions. His research extends to the insights of hospice and palliative care workers and the families of the dying. Fenwick posits that consciousness may exist independently of the brain, a theory that has sparked debate within the scientific community. He argues that our cultural attitudes towards death, often rooted in fear and avoidance, hinder our ability to embrace it as a significant and sacred aspect of life. The book aims to shift perspectives in Western society, encouraging a more open engagement with death. It examines how various cultures, such as the Tibetan "death system" and the teachings of Swedenborg, approach the dying process, juxtaposing these views with contemporary scientific findings. Fenwick also highlights the experiences of healthcare professionals who seek a deeper understanding of the dying process and the need for training to help patients navigate their final moments. By addressing common barriers to a good death—such as unresolved emotions and unfinished business—this work serves as a valuable resource for coming to terms with death and fostering a more compassionate approach to the end of life.
