It’s one of the reasons\, for example\, why evolution happens and socia l philosophers say it is what makes life worth living. Yet it receives sur prisingly little attention\, especially among biologists. Over the last tw o decades I have studied what I call programmed organismal death (POD) and will summarise the evidence for why I (and others) believe it evolved by natural selection\, however one wishes to define the word programmed. In c ontrast to the sciences\, mortality features extensively in literature (th ere will be a smattering of examples in this seminar). I’ll discuss the existential nature of fiction (both the writing process and the stories) a nd tell you how this pulled me into writing. And lastly\, we’ll touch on the notion of immortality\, what it is and how it may manifest.
