Anne Dufourmantelle, a notable French philosopher, who in her body of work strongly advocated risk taking to apparently live a more fulfilled life, has died taking unnecessary risks trying to save two children from drowning.
I guess she set a poor example for her strain of philosophical reasoning for not only her attempt was unsuccessful in itself as she failed to save the children (children were saved but not by her but by life guards) but also she could not save herself as she risked her own life and the risk proved too much.
I guess she managed to disprove her own philosophy by dying more that she was able to argue it whilst living.
Not that her dying is bad (or good) in itself because we don't know what death or dying is.
It could even be that death is the pinnacle of everything and something to be much desired or even actively sought after... but then again it may be not.
Who knows?
Those who may know aren't here to tell.
