Abstract
|
|
|
In this paper, I reviewed the works of some philosophers, who expressed their thoughts on the death, from the perspective of today. The purpose of this paper is to answer the question, what happens during death, and how we can understand death. Such an action expands our view of death as well as our understanding of life.
Through this study, I attempt to find a way to see death from a new perspective beyond a simple philosophical approach. Humans have difficulties to overcome death, which is one of the biggest problems. On the basis of the efforts of philosophers to overcome death, in other words, the efforts of philosophers to find a way dealing with death I propose a strategy for overcoming the end of life, i. e. a way of life. If, however, and how we will be able to find the way of life is still a problem, which we have to solve.
