THE HEIDEGGERIAN PHILOSOPHY OF DEATH: A CRITICAL APPRAISAL

Abstract

One certain aspect of human dimension which is unavoidable is death, thus, it undisputable, the most universal aspect of human existence. While Jean Paul Sartre dismisses death as the absurdity to life, Martin Heidegger argues that death offers meaningfulness and uniqueness to human existence, death is: ownmost, non-relational and cannot be outstripped. This paper presents the Heideggerian philosophy of death, with a critical objection that death is relational and not ownmost.
