Consideration of death in contemporary philosophy. (Experience of death in civilization of methaphysical individualism)
Franjo Zenko
Sažetak
The horizon, within which dying and death are considered in
contemporary philosophy, is ontoanthropological individualism. It is
an inspiration source and metaphysical foundation of modern
western civilization with distinct sensibility for existential problems of
man's individual existence.
Introductory chapters consider the neutralization of absurdity of
dying and death in "selfcomprehensible" cosmic and natural laws of
appearing and disappearing of everything that exists, thus reflecting
the experience of death in a politically-national community as in
"another cosmos".
Then death is discussed in the horizon of awaked and released
indMduality and existential hermeneutics, inspired by fundamental
ontology, as it is based in Heidegger's work "Being and Time".
The consideration of death in contemporary philosophy ends
with a question: is western cMlisation, based on metaphysical
individualism, the cMlization of death or the civilization of life?
