الموت

Rate this book
كيف نعرّف الموت؟ ما هو الموت البيولوجي؟ ما هي اليوم أشكال عملية الموت؟ هل نسير نحو موت «مسيطر عليه»؟ وكيف ينظم مجتمعنا حالة الحداد؟ إن التفكير في الموت يعني مواجهة أولى الحقائق... وعلم المِواتة يدرس الموت في عناصره الفيزيائية والاجتماعية والروحية والثقافية. ومن المفارقة أنه بقدر ما تتراكم معارفنا حول هذه الموضوع، بقدر ما تزداد حوله الأسئلة التي يصعب الإجابة عنها. ونحن، إذ نسأل أنفسنا عن علاقتنا بالموت تتضح أمامنا روح عصرنا وعالم خيالنا الجماعي
. لويس فانسان توماس: أستاذ علم المِواتة في جامعة رينيه ديكارت

Louis-Vincent Thomas (20 May 1922 – 22 January 1994) was a French sociologist, anthropologist, ethnologist, and scholar whose specialty was Africa. He was the founder of thanatology. After having taught at Cheikh Anta Diop University, he became a sociology professor at Paris Descartes University.

His writings deal with socialism, burials, and systems of thought in sub-Saharan Africa. He conducted comparative studies on death in Western culture and African culture. He often denounced the idea that anthropology and sociology are separate areas of study.
