Abstract:
Twentieth century philosophical trend has been designated by the diverse yet multifarious philosophical issues. Among such issues the concepts of self and death have long been central to philosophical inquiry. This article will attempt to analyse the concept of Death of two philosophers of twentieth century philosophical trend: J. Krishnamurti and Martine Heidegger. First, this article will try to revisit some major tenets of self and death as illustrated in the literatures of J. Krishnamurti. Second, how the notion of self as Being (with special reference to Dasein) and death have been evolved in the philosophy of Martine Heidegger and third, it will be shown that how their concepts of death get reconciliated with the philosophical thoughts surrounded self. They do possess some similarities and dissimilarities in shaping the said concepts. This article will try to search those harmonies and dissonances and their novelty in depicting the connections between self and death simultaneously.
