Abstract

The essence of death, in my opinion, is twofold and ambivalent: it is both a biological phenomenon conditioned by the finiteness of human life, and a social (socio-cultural) one, within the framework of the reality of which a person often thinks of himself as a timeless, immortal being. Such duality entails not only contradictions and cognitive dissonance, but also difficult problems and experiences.
