Question

What, according to Edwards, is the 'ontological quest' in respect of death pursued by the Existentialists? Why does he assert that the goal of the ontological quest is 'logically impossible'? What reasons does Edwards provide for thinking that Mora's method for attempting to understand death is not effective? Why does he maintain that Macquarrie's approach to the ontological quest is misleading? In what sense is the Existentialists' use of the phrase 'we all die alone' misleading on Edwards's account?
