Abstract

In his Quaes-tiones iatrophilologicae (1632-1639), Gabriel Naudé proposes five different questions, but the central topic is the relationship between life and death, tackled in a materialistic and areligious perspective. Naudé deals with the subject of suicide and euthanasia in the context of a reflection on the end of life and determinism, analysed in the last question. Suicide and good death are presented as paradigmatic examples of free choice that nullify any belief in a predetermined fate. © 2019 Fabrizio Serra Editore. All rights reserved.
