3. IDEAS ON DEATH ACCORDING TO
THREE GROUPS:
1.) The Christian
2.) The Marxist
3.) The Existentialist
4. CHRISTIANITY ON DEATH
*Death is the end of life and the beginning of
the next.
*The Church calls death a “mystery.” It
recognizes man’s natural reluctant to die and
the pain of separation of body and soul.
*The Church teaches that God created man
with his end in view: eternal life with Him. And
this is possible because of Christ’s sacrifice on
calvary.
5. CHRISTIANITY ON DEATH
For the Christian who has lived in grace,
death is a time of faith, of love, and of hope…
6. MARXISM ON DEATH
*Does not sees death as more than a
biological event. Death is not important
for man is nothing more than a “being
generically determined.”
And this is the way of all atheists.
7. EXISTENTIALISM ON DEATH
*Faces death squarely.
*Death is one of life’s boundary
situations, thus, inevitable and, thus,
the authentic attitude is to accept it
and to find out its significance.
8. EXISTENTIALISM ON DEATH
*Heidegger calls a man a “being-for-death.”
*To Heidegger, there is a vagueness in the
notion of death, and this he attributes to
“confusing existence with being there.”
*The existentialists accept man as finite, his life
having an ending
9. RECAPITULATION ON THE MEANING
OF DEATH
Death - is a typically human event, not
just a biological occurrence. It is a
separating of body and soul, but it is not
just the body that dies, it is the whole
man.
10. DEATH: AS NECESSITY AND AS
LIBERTY
*According to Geffre, death is a necessity
and liberty. It is also a release from pain
and suffering.
*As liberty, Geffre says there is the final
option theory that is a very plausible
explanation.
11. DEATH: AS NECESSITY AND AS
LIBERTY
*This is an affirmation once again of the
great moment of death. Once you cross its
threshold, there is no turning back. You
step into unending suffering or eternal
peace and love.
