Martin Heidegger, a German philosopher, is dead. Being dead since the 26th of May, 1976 and remaining so up until this writing, he says little of the subject lately. When he was living and being essentially and existentialist, he tended towards the view that death was not something we actually experienced. Life, in his view, we experience and as such it is not death that we can view or experience but rather dying and our understanding of that. In his own words:

"Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.'

"If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself."

"Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?"
