The book explores European psychological attitudes toward death and their changes over a vast historical period—from the Middle Ages to the present. As Ariès demonstrates, individual and societal understandings of death and the afterlife reveal attitudes toward life. This shift in views on human demise occurred extremely slowly and therefore eluded historians.

Philippe Ariès (1914–1984) was a French historian and author of works on the history of everyday life, family, and childhood. His most famous book, "Man Confronting Death," focuses on the history of attitudes toward death in European society. Ariès wrote extensively on childhood, children, and their treatment under the "ancien régime," primarily from the 16th to 18th centuries. In his works, he demonstrated that both attitudes toward childhood and the perception of death are important subjects for historical analysis.
