Socrates, Epicurus, and Martin
Heidegger are some of the most
prominent philosophers who have
written about death
 •believed that death
is not something to
be feared, as it is
Socrates either a dreamless
sleep or passage to
another life
 believed that the
universe was
logical and
Epicurus behaved with
predictable
tendencies

proponent of finding
Epicurus true knowledge
through observable,
objectively verifiable
phenomenon
 He was denying
the existence of
Epicurus the gods in favor
for a reliance on
scientific thought.
 He stated, “It is folly
for a man to pray to
Epicurus the gods for that which
he has the power to
attain by himself”
 According to him,
each human was
Epicurus the captain of his
or her own ship
 You may choose to
be virtuous, or you
Epicurus may choose to be
evil.
It is your decision
 He emphasis the
“preparedness for
death” is a
Martin fundamental key to
Heidegger authentic existence –
that the disclosure of
authentic Being only
occurs
 when Dasein confronts
its own finitude by
resolutely accepting
Martin
that it is always, and
Heidegger
inescapably, on a
journey towards its
own death
 According to him
death is a
Martin philosophical work
that explores the
Heidegger nature of death and its
relationship to human
existence
 Death is not simply
an event that happens
Martin to us, but rather an
Heidegger essential part of being
part of our being-in-
the-world
