This should be very useful. I haven’t listened yet but Critchley wrote something of a critique of suicidal logic and a weird affirmation of the act in Very Little… Almost Nothing: Death, Philosophy, Literature. If I remember right he went down the route of “suicide is actually an incredible affirmation of the power of the self and of the materiality of an intense connection to the world”. I’ve got a few days off coming to go through more stuff.
