Pecujlija, Mladen2019-09-252019-09-252012-12-202012http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/188598Great number of scientists posed a question of man's desire to live forever.The problem of relationship between psychology, ethics, religion and science is clearly reflected by this question, since religion clearly answers them, while modern science is pursuing them by large steps. Ethics inherently cannot provide an unequivocal answer, since utilitarianism has to decide whether investments into science, in order to realize this pursuit, provides happiness for the largest number of people, and furthermore, whether the achieved immortality has the same consequences (feasibility). It is highly difficult to formulate the categorical imperative of "Live forever" from the deontological point of view, while Aristotle school fails to consider this issue at all, due to the fact that it contemplates virtue and fails to define eternal life as human virtue. Whether we like it or not, we need to turn to psychology as well (desirability). Psychology does not negate human mortality. Moreover, psychology speaks about emotions as stirred with every individual by the presumption of death. Therefore, TMT theory (Terror Management Theory) is applied as the theoretic context of this explanation. Religious viewpoint is inevitable in this pursuit, thus, the Orthodox viewpoint has been presented as the least elaborated by literature. Possible answers to this question were derived and we are presenting them, leaving the readers to decide which suits them the best.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderspirituality, ethics, science, religionReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsConference proceedings
