Abstract


Achilles relinquished the dark but pleasantly lasting life which her godly mother wanted for him. His mortality option is the starting point of the last essay by Javier Gomá, Aquiles en el gineceo, o aprender a ser mortal [Achilles in the gynaeceum or learning to be mortal], a book where he explores the acceptance of our own finiteness as a moral necessity that everyone must confront. This issue is part of a more general matter, one that is being studied by the author in a tetralogy from which this essay constitutes the second volume: the experience of life. In this review I provide a general presentation of the work and I propose an alternative (or rather a complementary view) to his approach.
