| Summary: | This paper argues that Heidegger's description of death as a phenomenon of life opens a path to immortality different from the classical arguments. In the first part, I will explain why, for Heidegger, the account of immortality must start from a phenomenology of death, and I will analyze the characteristics of Being-towards-death. Then, I will discuss the relationship between immortality and death's revelation of Being. Finally, I will examine the Christian background of Heidegger's conception of death and immortality, and I will address some objections. |
