RE-BIRTH OF DEATH: A PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTION

Probably one of the themes least explored in the social sciences is the fear of the unknown and the fear of the invisible. It was Sigmund Freud in his celebrated essay „The Uncanny‟ who explored this theme saying that these terrains of the “unknown” and the “invisible” create the feeling of dread and anxiety. It is this theme that we are extending in the phenomenological reading of Death. In this essay we have analyzed what Death means through a philosophical exploration. The philosophical figures of J. Krishnamurti and Osho Rajneesh are brought in the reflections of Death. This essay claims that there is a philosophical path to the understanding of Death which could be called a new philosophy of life.
