This study evaluates the scenarios both in our individual and collective memory about death, which are the deepest riddle of existence, with a philosophical point of view. Two opposite point of views that perceive death as an “absolute truth” and a “nothingness” dominate the intellectual literature about death. It is clear that thinking death as a truth or nothingness will shape life as well. And we aimed to discuss philosophy’s scenario concerning the connection between person and death rather than the death’s metaphysical extent. Among the questions that we took as a base are the following: What does philosophy tell us about death, and is death something that lets people philosophize about itself? What does it mean that death is an absolute truth? If we call death a moment of absolute truth, what do we have to say on death in an era that the thought of truth and a meaning loss exist? What does it mean for me to think about death as a truth or nothingness, does it change the nature of my relationship with death? In the context of these questions, the effect of the era’s philosophical, scientific and intellectual dynamics on the perception of death is evaluated, and it is discussed how philosophy can create a new discourse about the changing nature of the relationship between a person and death.
