    Abstract

    The author, in his paper, pays close attention to the uncontrolled dialectics of
    death within human existence; that which is actively experienced but passively
    sustained; is the end of everything but the beginning of something new; is absolute
    certainty but unpredictable uncertainty; is always and only personal for me but 

    always and only personal for others, too. In fact, it is very difficult to explain the
    meaning of death from an ontological study of death: if and how death exists in the
    area of human experience; if death is an immanent possibility for personal existence
    or, is it introduced from outwith and occurs when we are not still living. To respond
    to these questions, the author proposes to use the bridging term, with which various
    philosophical positions can be qualified. This bridging term is ‘distance’ and our
    death experience is defined as the distance between man (person acting) and his
    subject (experience). The dialectical nature of this experience implies that death
    might be through an infinite separation or an infinite closeness to man. Drifting
    between those faraway shores, we can find in Emmanuel Levinas’ philosophy. He
    refers to death as Other (something else for man), but this does not mean that death
    is strange or unknown within one’s life experience.
