Summary/Abstract: In this paper I analysed the concept of death and time by Karl Rahner, a Jesuit intellectual with philosophical roots. Rahner describes the concept of death from the side of eternity. I tried to show the importance of the dialogue between philosophy and theology. Rahner describes death as a theological and philosophical problem, with philosophical arguments. He continues the work of Pierre Rousselot and Joseph Maréchal in trying to bind Kantian philosophy with scholastic metaphysics. My work was an attempt to describe the concept of death with the help of Karl Rahner who is an example, that religious philosophers can also have valuable criticism about difficult philosophical subjects.
