칸트와 미학적 자살

초록

In this paper I argue that there is a suicide which can be justified morally and rationally. I will call it the aesthetic suicide. I define: it is free death which I can choose for myself when my human life become to run into the minimum threshold which I can’t prompt or recover it any more in relation with myself and the others, in the viewpoint of which human lives mean the totalities of right and wrong, good and bad, pleasure and pain, beauty and ugliness. In order to prove my assertion I will argue for the aesthetic suicide in the Kantian viewpoint that is reinterpreted on the modified conditions, not Kant's viewpoint which has its own weakness and limits. Accordingly, the aesthetic suicide is divided into the perfect aesthetic suicide and the imperfect aesthetic suicide.
