Abstract
This work sought to carry out epistemic analysis of ethical implication of death in the existentialist philosophy of Martin Heidegger. The philosophical deliberation of death centres on the issue of what happened to us when we die? Even though some religious ideologies conceive that human non physical soul exists after death in heaven, hell or purgatory, the existence of this non physical soul still remains a philosophical problem. Martin Heidegger’s existential analysis of death is based on the physical world of human experience. Heidegger lamented that that there is natural tendency for individual to flee in the face of death and see death as an event experienced by others and not one’s own. This mindset constitute an existential problem for individuals not comporting themselves well in preparation for death. This work adopted analytic method of philosophical analysis. This work postulates that Martin Heidegger’s notion of “authentic-Being-towards death” is conceived when Dasein (man) is living his/her life in preparation for his/her future death Thus, the ethical implication of death in the existentialist philosophy of Martin Heidegger is conceived in this work in terms of authentic existence, bioethical, religious and cultural dimensions of death.
