Abstract

Article presents the experience of death from the point of view of the second person in the context of the problems that arise from Epicurus’s famous thesis that as long as we exist, death is not present and when it is present, we do not exist. The epistemo-logical problem is the possibility of experiencing death. We cannot resolve this problem from the point of view of the first or third person. In your death, however, the death of a close friend, of a person emotionally connected with me, I can partly experience my own death. We can resolve some of the other problems in a similar manner: the ontological prob-lem, the axiological problem, the moral problem and the eschatological problem.
