Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aries describes "tame death" as an attitude where the dying person is focused primarily on what their death means for themselves, whereas "death of the self" involves a sense of loss of identity and a more intense emotional response. In "tame death," death is typically faced with greater calmness and acceptance than in "death of the self." Option A is incorrect because both attitudes focus on the dying person's experience of death. Option C is false because in "death of the self," death is seen as a potential loss of selfhood and is therefore more threatening than in "tame death." Option D is incorrect because "death of the self" is typically more individualistic than communitarian. Option E is true but does not explain the difference between the two attitudes.
