death, Heidegger, the Catholic Church, being, lifeAbstract
The purpose of this research is to describe the concept of death in Heidegger's philosophy and the teachings of the Catholic Church and explore the similarities and differences between the two. Based on the results of the research, there are five points of consideration that show the similarities and differences between these two perspectives. First, the point of departure of the teachings. Heidegger talks about death in the grand project of searching for the meaning of Being, whereas the Catholic Church speaks of death in the context of human direction to God as well as redemption by Christ. Second, from the perspective of the phenomenology of death, there are fundamental similarities and differences in these two concepts. Third, both Heidegger and the Catholic Church view life as a field of preparation and anticipation of death. However, the Catholic Church does not see humans’ struggle in the world as their own endeavor. Fourth, Heidegger seems ambiguous in his understanding of death as the fullness of man while the Catholic Church sees union with God after death as the fullness of man. Fifth, while both emphasize a free attitude towards death, the Catholic Church still interprets freedom in the context of the call to be a servant of God.
