the "American Creed" sub specie mortis?

in a social time of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
a "dance of death" is heretical

  1. The pursuit of happiness was likely formulated as an expression of eudaimonia. The philosophical concern for the "good life" requires a consideration of death, so no, "heretical" is inappropriate here. If you mean a "celebration" of death, then perhaps yes.
