Mortology

What is Mortology? It's not a new term, but usage of it was limited. We think about Mortology as new point of view on death and life. But we think that it is not as easy as it sounds. Like majority of people we love this life and not excited about death. Our reason to initiate this on-line project was desire to change the life for better, by trying to research the meaning through studying of its final point - death.

The understanding of death, its value and consequences by our opinion are important during the first stages of human life (may be in this case people will be more cautionness to the value of their own lives and lives of the other people). We also think that studying or at least paying attention to this subject can be useful in any age or lifetime period. We would like society to pay more attention to this issue, and we hope that this at least can increase the value of human life and may be change some emphasis of the current life style.


Our approaches to do this include, but not limited to the following fields of study and research:

1. Ancient traditions. We would like to centralize and further research traditions of ancient civilizations in this area. Some of them like Egyptian or Mayan had a define approach to the death which is not totally comprehended and researched until now.

2. Religious traditions. We do believe that there is huge pile of unresearched or undiscovered information about our subject in almost all world religions. Though we are not promoting any specific religious point of view, we would like to try to analyze information and structure it.

3. Scientific research. We are going to consolidated scientific results both in the field of medicine and biology as well as to collect suitable information related to Mortology from other sciences such as physics, chemistry, mathematics etc.

4. Philosophic research. Though we acknowledge that our subject was widely researched by philosophers of different schools and cultures we still see a space for consolidating the data and trying to see them with different angle. Our special area of interest is death and society interference.

5. Paranormal research. We are trying to be opened to every reasonable (and sometimes even beyond) study or fact. That is why we are trying to develop comprehensive paranormal research database as well as support such researches.

6. Studying of healthy life. We understand healthy life not only as physical health, but as more complex phenomena, connected with different aspects of contemporary life (society, philosophy, nutrition, etc.)

7. Stuying of ageing. This is important aspect of understanding human life cycle and its impact.


Practical goals.

1. Centralize data about death, death culture and experience, ageing and healthy life which should be easy accessible for every one interested in the subject.

2. To find what and how traditions of last minutes can be best fitted in western society culture. There is no secret that typical modern death is not as romantic as usually described in literature and art. We hope that something can be changed here to make this event more acceptable to current culture standards.

3. To research the question is death the final point for our consciousness through analysis scientific experiments and faith.


So, how Mortology can help you? Mortology is not remedy for grievance, nor magic book, which immediately changes the reality, it's just the instrument, which probably can change each of us, let us see our life in different aspect, probably the tool to change ourselves. For now it's a good reference to find possible answers to important questions of human life, as well as a forum to exchange opinions with other people who have the same concerns. Finally, it is along run and multidimensional project, developments and results of which is difficult to predict…
