title: [Old European "ars moriendi" (the art of dying) as a challenge for our approach to death and dying].
abstract: In Europe, there was once a time when death and dying were approached differently than they are today. Ars moriendi was cultivated as a means of consciously preparing for death. In modern times, constant thoughts of death are no longer considered as necessary for leading a responsible life.
