| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Suicide: Its History, Literature, Jurisprudence, Causation, and Prevention" by W. Wynn Westcott is a comprehensive social science treatise written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the multifaceted nature of suicide, exploring its historical, literary, legal, and psychological aspects, as well as potential preventative measures. The author seeks to address the rising rates of suicide in society and calls for a serious examination of the issue, highlighting its significance as a social problem intertwined with legislation and public health. At the start of the book, Westcott reflects on the historic prevalence of suicide, drawing attention to its causes, such as misery and mental illness. He contrasts ancient practices—where certain suicides were seen as honorable acts—with contemporary views that predominantly condemn it. The opening preface outlines the author’s motivations for discussing the subject at length, citing a lack of comprehensive literature in English. Westcott sets the tone for extensive investigation into societal and philosophical influences on suicide. This introductory section serves effectively as a foundation for understanding the later chapters, which promise to unpack the ethical dilemmas surrounding this complex issue, alongside the statistical data illustrating its concerning rise in modern society.
