Resumo
Death is a phenomenon of human existence. However, according to Byung-Chul Han’s perception of, a South-Korean philosopher living in Germany, members of contemporary Western society have sought at all costs to eliminate the gravity of death from their consciousness as a phenomenological fact of existence. Not even philosophical thought has escaped this tendency. To this purpose, Han argues, Western philosophers have made use of the resources of metaphysical thought to eliminate from consciousness the horror of human finitude and mortality, dialectically working on the pains and negativities of life, with the aim of attributing to them a new meaning beyond what can be phenomenologically achieved. On the other hand, according to Han death leads to nothingness, although it has to offer, an existential perspective for the living. This dissertation therefore aims to discuss Byung-Chul Han's thoughts on death, as presented in two specific works: Todesarten (1998) and Tod und Alterität (2002). This work focuses on three modes of experiencing death, according to Han: (1) the mournful experience of death, through which the human being becomes aware of the negativity of existence, from the gravity of the recognition of his finitude instead of opposing his denial or heroic reaction, either through attachment to himself or through attachment to the other, he assumes himself as a “nobody” serenely disposed to others. (2) the ethical experience of death, which describes human behavior in the face of death in contrast to Han's proposal and, finally, (3) the community experience of death, in which Han's understanding of human existence as not an experience of self-referential isolation will be presented, but of openness not only to other human beings, but also to the entire world around him
