Dying for ideas : the dangerous lives of the philosophers / Costica Bradatan. by Brădățan, Costică, author. London UK ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2015. Description:  xii, 238 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Contents:  Philosophy as self-fashioning -- The first layer -- Philosophy in the flesh -- The second layer -- The making of a martyr-philosopher -- Postscript : To die laughing. Summary:  One of the greatest merits of Costica Bradatan's book is that it explores a cluster of topics that represent the untold, the unuttered, almost the unutterable in contemporary philosophy: death, dying, sacrifice and self-sacrifice. Ours is a culture of 'happy endings' and, in this respect, most philosophers of today are the spokespersons of their time. Bradatan is a dissenter. His book approaches death head-on. Indeed, what makes this project fascinating is the fact that, while the book purports to be about 'dying for an idea, ' it in fact sings praise to life. Death, in Bradatan's view, is something that brings new meaning to life, a renewed intensity to the act of living.
