"Sterben, wenn Sterben das Richtige ist"

On one hand, this work serves a deeper understanding about suicide as a social phenomenon by highlighting its different philosophical and sociological movements, while, on the other hand, a detailed acquisition of the semantic consistency of suicide in literature is using eight prosaic works to structurally analyze.
Through an interdisciplinary structure, which is embedding theories from Durkheim, Freud, Foucault, Kant, Schopenhauer, Augustinus and others in the context of literary studies, a unique and transparent insight in the controversial topic of an intercultural suicide ethic is offered.
