Abstract

The thesis treats the problem of suicide by putting it in relation to the individual freedom of human. I will concentrate on just a few problems which target to attempt to offer an answer to the themeabove mentioned. To achieve the purpose I use different opinions and theories regarding theme in question which demonstrates that the theme has been treated thoroughly and also by prominent authors like G. Minois, E. Cioran, A. Schopenhauer or Paul-Ludwig Landsberg. We were asking ourselves whether suicide is a moral problem. How about a solution to escape from the existential anguish? People have never understood completely the acts of suicide showing almost constantly contempt, fear, pity or indifference to these.
