Екзистенциално-онтологичното понятие за смъртта в "Битие и време"
The Existential-Ontological Concept of Death in "Being and Time"

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a detailed interpretation of the concept of “being towards death”. This concept is crucial in the entire philosophical construction of Being and Time, because it is the “switch” from the inauthentic mode of care structure, in which Dasein is primarily and constantly in factually-concrete plan, to the authentic mode of care structure, which takes place only as an existentiell modification of the inauthentic one. The analysis strictly distinguishes between the existential-ontological and the everyday phenomenon of “death”, but at the same time insists that they relate to each other in their capacity of a founding condition and a formal indication, respectively. The main thesis is that the concept of “being towards death” makes sense only in relation to the factually-concrete care structure. The text argues for this by interpreting, first, the constellation of the essential features of the ontological phenomenon of “death”, second, the anxiety as a fundamental affectivity in which the authentic being towards death is ontically attested, and third, the definition of death as “the possibility of the inability-to-be-more-there“ or “the possibility of the very impossibility of the being-there”. The article offers two interpretative versions of the said definition.
