Document Summary

Isis is one of many deities who have been linked with the continued commerce between life and death: the one is always passing the other. Sigmund freud had the concept of death instinct. He named this concept thanatos after the greek god who delivers a peaceful death. The freudian concept was mostly rejected except for those in neuroscientists who find it a heuristic idea to pair with pcd (programmed cell death). Thanatos is regarded as part of the larger process that generates new cells and maintains organ function though not forever (there are other kinds of cell death as well. Accidents can destroy cells and so can developmental, particularly genetic factors). Ideas about the nature and meaning of death. Hindu philosophy, birth, death, rebirth, and then again, death are linked in a constantly recurring cycle. We are born to die, but die to be reborn.
