How did voluntary death come to be known as suicide? That's the question the book seeks to answer, by delving into the depths of the tradition that transformed a manner of dying into a manner of killing. The idea of suicide, whether we realize it or not, conjures the notion of murder, of homicide. How did what the Stoics termed a rational exit become an morally unforgivable crime? In this first volume, an entire Greco-Roman and Christian tradition is put under scrutiny, not to answer historical questions, however, but to provide clues to our time in the challenge of questioning itself. The linguistic diversity of antiquity that expressed voluntary death has been replaced by the idea of suicide.
