BOOK REVIEW Edited by David E. Balk

The evolution of suicide

by C. A. Soper. New York: Springer International, 2018. 289 pp. (ISBN: 9783319773001). $169.99. Reviewed by Ronald W. Maris.

 

Notes

1 Soper’s argument style is almost geometrical. He tries to explain suicide with only seven numbered arguments (and sub-propositions; like 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.2.3, etc). His writing style reminds me of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (Citation1961), in which Wittgenstein tried to resolve all philosophical problems in just seven propositions (then he retired from philosophy for a while and built a house).
