Volume 17 (=334 pages) is in honor of Mary Midgley (1919-2018) and Iris Murdoch (1919-1999). Please note that a large majority of the chapter contributions mention neither Mary Midgley nor Iris Murdoch. The chapters (by professional philosophers and other scholars/professionals) are directed to issues related to death, life extension, and anti-death, broadly construed. Most of the contributions consist of scholarship unique to this volume. As was the case with all previous volumes in the Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press, the anthology includes an Abstracts section that serves as an extended table of contents.
Volume 17 includes fourteen chapters, as follows:------CHAPTER ONE: Euclid, Plato And Lonergan: Reflections On The Soul's Fate And Human Mortality (by Giorgio Baruchello and Garrett Barden) Pages 27-68.------CHAPTER TWO: Death, Depression And A Passing Kestrel (by Stephen R. L. Clark) Pages 69-92.------CHAPTER THREE: Reversal Of Epigenetic Aging And Immunosenescent Trends In Humans (by Gregory M. Fahy et al.)

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
